Harrington ends long wait for big title
Print Edition
PADRAIG Harrington ended a seven-year title drought on the two main tours when he won the Honda Classic in a playoff with American rookie Daniel Berger after a thrilling finish in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Monday.
The victory in the rain-disrupted tournament was sweet for the 43-year-old Irishman, a triple major winner who has plummeted down the rankings after several seasons of struggle and entered the tournament ranked 297th in the world.
Harrington’s last win on either the PGA Tour or European Tour came at the 2008 US PGA Championship, although he ended last year with a December victory on the Asian Tour at the Indonesia Open.
Both players finished on 6 under, but Berger found water on the second playoff hole, the par-3 17th, and Harrington two-putted from three feet after producing an exquisite iron shot off the tee.
It was a deeply disappointing day though for Britain’s Ian Poulter who was the overnight joint leader with compatriot Paul Casey. Poulter shot a 4-over 74 and Casey a 68 as both finished tied for third alongside Scotland’s Russell Knox.
