| 2022 Championship |
Padraig Harrington held off a late Sunday charge from 2019 champion Steve Stricker to post a one-stroke victory at Saucon Valley Country Club's Old Course in Bethlehem, Pa. Harrington, who posted a 72-hole total of 10-under-par 274, became the first player from the Republic of Ireland to claim a USGA championship. U.S. Open champions Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell are both from Northern Ireland. To read more, click here. |
| Quotable |
"I think it's special for me to win this one just because I've never won a USGA event. I think that adds more than if you could turn around and win a different senior major. But because I was never a U.S. 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.” -- Padraig Harrington |
| Fast Fact |
Up to 30,000 flowers are used on the 16th hole at SentryWorld, which is dubbed the Flower Hole. For the 2019 U.S. Girls' Junior, the maintenance staff was able to arrange the flowers in such a way that it spelled out USGA. It is one of the most photographed holes in the game. |
