WE BEGIN WITH Padraig Harrington’s brilliant victory in 2008, when the Dubliner became the first man since James Braid in 1906 to retain the Claret Jug.
A wrist injury had threatened Harrington’s chances of even playing in the tournament, but he managed much better than that by overcoming a two shot deficit to Greg Norman going into the final round and winning his second Open Championship in a row.
The victory moved the Portmarnock man from 14th to third in the world rankings, behind only Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.
