Clarke pips Harrington to Senior Open title

Darren Clarke held off a late charge from former Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington to claim a one-shot victory after a weather-delayed final round at the Senior Open.

Clarke mixed two birdies with a lone bogey in tough conditions on the King's Course, seeing the Northern Irishman end on 10 under.

Victory is Clarke's first senior major title and sees him become only the fourth player in history to win The Open and the Senior Open, following on from Gary Player, Bob Charles and Tom Watson.

"When I won some of my biggest tournaments, The Open, WGCs, I have a sense of calmness," Clarke said. "I don't know where it comes from because if I'd been able to grab a hold of it a few more times in my career, I probably would have won a few more times.

"This week, I had that calmness again. I think it comes from being accepting, knowing that I hit some poor shots now and again. I'm not going to hole that many putts or whatever. And when you're accepting, it's easier just to amble along and accept the outcome."
