Imperious Harrington clinches third US Senior Open title

Harrington finished with matching 66s and a $800,000 winner’s check, becoming only the second player to win the event three times.

  • On Sunday, Padraig Harrington became the second player to win the U.S. Senior Open three times, closing with a four-under 66 at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio.
  • Trailing American Stewart Cink by one shot overnight, Harrington overcame the deficit with birdies on the first two holes, building on his 2022 and 2025 U.S. Senior Open victories.
  • The 54-year-old banked a winner's purse of $800,000, crediting his performance to improved putting: "I'd never say I've won a golf tournament by putting, but this week I did."
  • American George McNeill finished third while England's Ian Poulter placed fourth, as Harrington described the final-round pressure like "riding a rollercoaster," noting it was "uncomfortable when you're out there."
  • Harrington skips the Seniors Players to prepare for The Open at Royal Birkdale, where he won his second Claret Jug in 2008, followed by the Genesis Scottish Open.
