Alex Čejka battled through treacherous conditions to beat Pádraig Harrington on the second extra hole and win The Senior Open Presented by Rolex.
EJKA COMPLETES PLAY-OFF VICTORY AT SENIOR OPEN

Royal Porthcawl Golf Club was subjected to high winds and rain as no player was able to break par for the second day in a row, with the German posting a five over 76 to finish on five over par through 72 holes and join Harrington, who posted a four over 75, in a play-off.

Both players birdied the first trip back down the 18th, as Harrington's eagle putt slipped marginally by, before 52-year-old Čejka prevailed on the next extra hole. The Irishman went long with his second shot into the par five before leaving his chip short of the green, meaning Cejka was able to two-putt for birdie and become the second German winner of the Senior Claret Jug, after Bernhard Langer.

Čejka's victory in Wales was his fourth triumph since turning 50, with three of those incredibly coming at Senior Majors, following his wins at The Tradition and the Senior PGA Championship in 2021.
