Harrington claims Tour prize

Padraig Harrington has been named the European Tour Golfer of the Month for July following the successful defence of his Open Championship title at Royal Birkdale.

The Irishman scored a four-stroke victory over England’s Ian Poulter to become the first European since James Braid in 1905-06 to retain the Open title and only the 16th of all-time to win the Auld Claret Jug back to back.
