Padraig Harrington held his nerve to win his first senior major title despite a final round charge by his Ryder Cup rival Steve Stricker in the US Senior Open.
Harrington, who became eligible for the Senior Tour last August when he turned 50, has added another milestone win to the three regular Tour majors he won in 2007-08.
He will make a triumphant return home at the start of the week to begin preparations for the Irish Open, which starts on Thursday at Mount Juliet in Kilkenny.
