After Failing Continuously to Add Another Feather to His 3X Major Crown, PGA Tour Pro Is Climbing Up The Success Ladder Yet Again

The Senior Open Championship is gearing up for its final round at the Royal Porthcawl Golf Course, and the race to win the title is on, with Alex Čejka currently on top of the leaderboard. The competition among golfers is at its peak, and the enthusiasm for the tournament is building day by day. With his exceptional performance, one golfer who could bring the trophy home today is Padraig Harrington.

Harrington, who competes on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions, had a terrible season this year with his dull performance, especially in the majors. However, he is once again shining at the top of the scoreboard (T2) in the Senior Open thanks to his constancy. But will he be able to prevail in the contest? Let’s learn more about his recent performance right away.

Padraig Harrington’s performance at the ongoing Senior Open Championship

Harrington is currently playing at his peak level in the Senior Open Championship, which might be fortuitous for him. He has won major championships three times before and this could be his fourth win given that he is already on the top of the scoreboard. After the third round, he has been tied with Phillip Archer, Vijay Singh, and Steven Alker and is only one shot behind Alex Čejka.

The three-time major championship winner was also making waves as he had an amazing eagle at the 18th hole yesterday. Moreover, he rolled in the putt for a level par 71 after hitting a nine-iron to five feet. In conversation with Irish Golfer, he even talked about the efforts that he put into the match.

Harrington expressed, “I was just working hard for two weeks.” He further spoke about his poor performances. “You know, I’ve chipped poorly this week. That’s my strength and I chipped poorly. I had two big long weeks. You know, I didn’t finish as well as I would have wanted in Scotland, and then The Open, being a major, I was just working hard for two weeks.” said the talented golfer.

The Irish Professional golfer had played in three Major PGA Tour tournaments. Unfortunately, even though he was able to make the cut, he couldn’t succeed in getting under top-1o finishes. Instead, he was way too behind on the scoreboard by scoring T50, T27, and T64 standings.

On the other hand, for the PGA Tour Champions tournaments, Harrington played in four major events. Here, he fared mediocrely because he is yet to win an event this season and has only one top-10 finish.
