Photograph: Sam Greenwood/Getty ImagesPadraig Harrington labeled his victory at the US Senior Open as “special” after being made to sweat on the final day by American Steve Stricker.

“I think that adds more than if you could turn around and win a different senior major. But because I was never a US Open champion or a junior champion, it’s great to come and win the senior one. It adds something that I never had in my career.” American Stricker was the victorious rival captain opposite Harrington in last year’s Ryder Cup and came to Saucon Valley as the winner of the tournament in 2019.
