Dubliner heads from New York to Wisconsin for the defence of his US Seniors Open in fine form
As Harrington put it of his mindset down the stretch, “there’s less pressure when you’re chasing because nobody sees you if you lose. The leader is putting himself out there and if he doesn’t win, he’s going to finish up on Sunday and he’s going to lament the mistakes that he made or the chances he missed even if he didn’t make mistakes, whereas the guy chasing has a free run.”
Looking back to how his win in the Dicks Sporting Goods Open a year ago sparked a phenomenal run, Harrington said: “I don’t like superstitions or anything like that, but it took me half a year to get going last year and I won this week . . . so second half of the year I’m here for a run.” Harrington, who earned $315,000 for his win, heads from New York to Wisconsin for the defence of his US Seniors Open in good fettle.
China’s Ruoning Yin closed with a final round 67 for an eight-under-par total of 276 to win by one stroke from Japan’s Yuka Saso. It marked the 20-year-old’s first win on the LPGA Tour and only the second Major by a Chinese golfer.
