Padraig Harrington has held off a charging Steve Stricker to claim a one-stroke victory and become the first player from the Republic of Ireland to take home the US Senior Open.
The 50-year-old started the day at Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course five shots ahead and went on to card a one-over par 72, leaving himself in a good position to become the third-straight champion on debut at the tournament.
