- Like Tiger Woods two years earlier, Padraig Harrington successfully defended his title, becoming the first European to do so at The Open since James Braid in 1906.
This was a more comfortable occasion than his play-off win at Carnoustie and after an eagle at the 17th, thanks to a 5-wood from 249 yards to three feet, he was able to enjoy a celebratory walk up the 18th fairway on the way to winning by four strokes from Ian Poulter.
“I’m holding on to this,” he said cradling the Claret Jug. “I had a great year as Open Champion, so much so I didn’t want to give it back.”
Amazingly, Harrington almost had to withdraw after injuring his right wrist while swinging his driver into a bean bag the previous weekend. If it helped to dampen expectations, the gales that battered Birkdale throughout the week also helped Harrington maintain his concentration.

Harrington's 2nd shot on the 17th on Sunday is one of the great shots in the history of the Majors.
Narrators tone and inflection sounds more like something you'd hear on a war documentary.
Padre Harrington won three majors in 2 years and cemented himself in golf history
PADRAIG.

@@rorybrennan360 thank you RUclips spell check. I think people understand
This announcer's voice significantly lowered my blood pressure.
I feel like we're about to watch something very tragic
As a steward on the 8th I can assure you the weather was as bad as it gets on Thursday morning.....even had a chat with a Japanese fella, wanted to know why we have this great championship in the winter time 😂😂
Back when fans could watch live on the BBC. Such a shame.
So pure
love the open
Lockdown has just got better. Thank you open
You had to mention the "L" word.
Shame on you. Lol.
Played Birkdale once, 1987, immediately became my favourite course ( live in Melbourne AU. so I know all the great sandbelt courses there)
Didn’t think it was a hard course off the mens tees. Then I noticed the back tees up in the dunes.
We’ve got some tidy links courses down the peninsula too
Greg norman what a player
Back-to-back years 50 somethings could have won the Open
6:10 Steven Reid was captain of Royal Lytham in 1996 when it was played there. He handed the trophy to Tom Lehman.
What a weekend for Padraig!🇲🇽
Is he Mexican? 😂
Jared Harris, I believe is the narrator. It took me 20 minutes to place it, Professor Moriarty .
What was the name of the person that announced his win at the end Does anyone know ?
28:52....majestic.
This narrator has the same tone as the guy from the Cat In The Hat cartoon movie
9:10mins - looks like someone lost their samurai sword…
Oh yes….well spotted!!!!…🤔😂😂👍
The biggest shock was that we have to import 22 tons of chips from Holland.
It’s weird seeing a golfer where a football hat. Ben Curtis 20:57
Why isn’t the 2009 film on RUclips?
Graham McDowell's swing looks like he's going to hit a duck hook every time
19:35 China.........🤔
Up the irish
Because of what Tom Watson did a few years later, people forget about how close Greg was
Yeah, Greg's story at the time was even bigger because he would have been by far the oldest major winner. He showed it was possible, so Tom Watson's wasn't as amazing. I think they were just a year apart.
@@tomdallas3690 Tom Watson's would have been much much bigger. That would have been his 6th open! And he's 6 years older than Greg. In my opinion is Greg and Tom both won, people would already have forgotten about gregs
@@richlewis1879 Greg showed it could be done the year before, so it isn't as huge a deal. Of course, people would have made it a bigger deal than it was. Greg's was huge. They both choked. Weasels.
Then Phil Wins the pga at 50 just over 10 years later
old greg
The commentator's voice is horrendous.
This was when Tigers prime ended not even in top 10
Tiger had knee surgery after the us open victory a month before LOL
@@markhagen1107 oh yeah I forgot
The brown barometer microscopically try because product allegedly grip but a erratic pumpkin. axiomatic, tawdry popcorn
great victory. And a double victory. Poulter lost. The most annoying golfer of all time.
Not a fan of this narrator
