Darren Clarke fends off Padraig Harrington after rain delay to win Senior Open at Gleneagles

Darren Clarke held firm in difficult conditions to join some elite company with a win in the Senior Open at Gleneagles. The Northern Irishman played the best golf all week, but gave the rest of the field a chance due to a cold putter. Ad/> That remained the case on Sunday, but following a rain delay late in the afternoon, he dug in and made a birdie on 18 to become only the fourth man after Gary Player, Bob Charles and Tom Watson to win both The Open and Senior Open.

The OpenOpen Championship golf 2022 – McIlroy and Hovland share lead after frantic 3rd round16/07/2022 AT 07:17 Clarke was largely excellent from tee to green on Sunday, as was the case on Saturday, but he made no putts on the outward nine. A rare error on 10, a duck-hook from the fairway on the par five into the thick rough, led to a first bogey of the round and dropped him back into a share of the lead alongside Paul Broadhurst, Mauricio Molina and Doug Barron. A sign of class is how players bounce back from adversity, and Clarke showed his enduring quality remains as he made a birdie on 12 to get back in front.

The horn went on 14, as play was stopped due to a storm which left standing water on the greens. Final Round Leaderboard 1. Darren Clarke, 10-under 2.

Clarke returned to see Padraig Harrington come out like an express train and the Irishman birdied 14, 15, 17 and 18 to post the clubhouse lead at nine-under.
