Padraig forces Garcia errors to win at Carnoustie

Wow!!! What an end to the open...Sergio Garcia must have been spitting chips when he fluffed his 5 footer game winning birdie on the 18th to bring Padraig back on to the course for the playoff. In my opinion, as soon as Garcia missed the putt, he lost the match. Padraig was just too good for him on the day. However before the playoff Harrington had his own demons to cope with when he hit the water twice and ending the 18th with a bogey, leaving the door wide open for Garcia.
Starting the playoff Padraig looked the more likely to clinch the title and this was confirmed when Garcia shot a bogey and Harrington shot a birdie on the first. Garcia's game went downhill from there and all Padraig had to do was keep a steady game. In the end, experience and cool nerves won the day for Padraig. A lovely moment at the end of the playoff when Padraig hugged his young son and he looked like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders. Padraig thoroughly deserved his win today and well done to him. Sergio however was very unlucky and for him another day will come. Well done to both of them and i would like to thank them both for a very entertaining Sunday afternoon.
