Padraig Harrington wins the 2007 British Open
Padraig Harrington became the first golfer from Ireland to win the British Open in six decades as he held off Sergio Garcia in a tension-filled four-hole playoff at Carnoustie.
Keep an eye on WorldGolf.com and TravelGolf.com for analysis of the thrilling tournament, as well as the you-know-it’s-coming “Sergio Garcia will never win a major” post by TravelGolf.com’s Chris Baldwin.
In the end, however, any slings and arrows coming Garcia’s way will be deserved, as the Spaniard truly let one of golf’s biggest prizes slip away. Regardless, a great win by Harrington, who now cements his place as Europe’s best golfer.

1. RE: Baldwin. How old is Paddy? Mid-3os, right? Sometimes a major win takes a while. Just ask DL3 and Hogan. Sergio may not be a multiple major winner, but I'm certain that he'll settle for one as time rolls by.
2. That 18th makes them soil themselves. What a bear of a hole.
3. How mercurial was Andres Romero? His golf was insane until the brutal 3/2 end.

Would have been great to see a Spanish winner but Sergio has been in the final group on two consecutive Open Championships so he could be third time luck next time out. Padriag played great and is a worthy winner!
