Padraig Harrington Rides His Luck Into Senior Open Lead

SUNNINGDALE, ENGLAND, JUL 25 – Harrington overcame three unusual distractions and a tough course to lead by one stroke after rounds of 67 and 65, putting him ahead of Bjorn and Choi at the Senior Open.

  • Padraig Harrington took the halfway lead at the 2025 Senior British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club near London after shooting a bogey-free 65 to reach eight-under par.
  • Harrington built his position by overcoming unusual distractions during the round, including a bug landing near his shoe, which he said did not cost him and credited mental focus for his performance.
  • The Sunningdale Old Course, praised by Harrington and other players as one of the best courses, hosted top contenders including Thomas Bjorn and defending champion K.J. Choi, both close behind Harrington by one stroke.
  • Harrington, a three-time major winner and last month's U.S. Senior Open champion, said he "rode his luck a lot today" and aims to tidy his game to secure a rare double of British Open and Senior British Open titles.
  • Harrington's lead and recent success position him well to achieve his goal, while multiple Australians and other players chase closely, making the weekend rounds crucial for the championship outcome.
