Padraig Harrington is celebrating a first-ever Champions Tour major title.
The Dubliner held off the challenge of Steve Stricker to win the US Senior Open in Pennsylvania.
Harrington carded a final round of one-over-par 72 to win by a shot on ten-under.
He had held a five-shot lead heading into the last day.

Harrington, who is a two-time victor of The Open, said his triumph in Pennsylvania as “special”.
He said: “I think it’s special for me to win this one just because I’ve never won a USGA [United States Golf Association] event,”.
