In the Rough

After Padraig Harrington retained his British Open trophy at Royal Birkdale on Sunday Evening the question is being asked “is Padraig one of the greatest links golfers?”.

His performance over the four days at Royal Birkdale was simply brilliant especially the back 9 on Sunday. Going into the tournament Harrington hadn’t played the back 9 all week together due to his wrist injury yet still produced a fantastic display putting the cherry on the cake with an eagle 3 at the Par 5 17th.

Harrington has also had a few wins at other links courses over his career and surely now must be considered a quality links golfer.
