A HARRD SLOG FOR PADRAIG

PADRAIG HARRINGTON fell to an agonising defeat on the second play-off hole at the Senior Open Championship yesterday.

German Alex Cejka birdied to claim his third major Senior title after he and Harrington had finished tied on five over par following a final round played in miserable wet and windy conditions at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.

However, a missed eagle putt on the final hole of regulation would have sealed a dramatic win for the Dubliner.

With near 35mph winds swirling by the Welsh coast, both men made birdie on the first play-off hole with Harrington again nearly draining a long-range eagle putt.
