Harrington loses playoff to Stricker at Senior PGA

The 51-year-old Dubliner went into the final day top of the leaderboard.

PADRAIG HARRINGTON suffered a playoff defeat at the Senior PGA Championship in Texas.

The 51-year-old Dubliner went into the final day top of the leaderboard but ultimately came unstuck against 56-year-old American Steve Stricker.

He had been one shot clear of Stricker after play finished on Saturday, but dropped shots on the 8th, 12th and 17th holes proved costly, as both players finished 18 under par, prompting a sudden-death playoff.

Harrington subsequently could not recover from a poor tee shot on the 18th, registering a bogey, and his fellow 2021 Ryder Cup captain took advantage by securing victory.

    Dave Barry was pure class. Won 2 All Irelands and scored for Cork City in Europe, against the likes of Galatasaray, and during a famous draw with Bayern Munich – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CUVBzMhm_w

    Im fairness to Sam he was down a few players and had to play himself. He was late 30s and the jerseys barely fit him. We played the most attractive football that season with a youth team and some old pros winning the first division easily. I was sad to see him go. But the weekly bucket collection door to door that he himself had to partake in had an effect on him. Fondly remembered.in limerick

    That would be Cormac Kanchelskis to give him his correct title.
