USPGA glory for Harrington

11/08/2008

Padraig Harrington has followed up retaining his Open title last month by winning the USPGA Championship at Oakland Hills.

The Irishman beat Sergio Garcia and Ben Curtis into joint second place on two-under after a three-under par final round of 66.

Harrington, 36, is the first European to win the USPGA for 70 years.

Last month he became the first European to retain the Open for more than a century.
