Harrington’s Encore: Proof Age is Just a Number

  • His T18 finish was his best major performance in five years. Five years! That’s a long damn time to wait for a moment like that.
  • He’s now one of only three players over 54 to snag a top-20 at the PGA Championship. Think about that. Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen. Legends. And Harrington’s right there with them. It’s preposterous, really.
  • And if you take out that opening round, the guy shot under par for the last 54 holes. Bettered only by two guys who were in contention to win. That’s some serious golf played when it mattered most.
