Alex Cejka beat Padraig Harrington in a play-off to claim the Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl in torrid conditions which helped produce a dramatic final day.
The German prevailed at the second extra hole after Harrington birdied the last in regulation play to force a play-off after his eagle attempt for the win came up short. Harrington, a two-time Open champion, eventually had to settle for a runner-up place, though, for the second successive year.
