Padraig Harrington clinched his second Open Championship in a row yesterday by shooting an under par 69 in the final round at Royal Birkdale.

Moving steadily through the field throughout the week after starting by shaking off a wrist injury. Once he realised that the injury wasn't going to cause too much of a problem, there was noone more determined than the reigning champion.

Greg Norman, and then Ian Poulter put up the main challenge, but after Harrington's eagle 3 on the Par 5 17th, there was only one result.

Hybrid: Wilson Staff FYbrid
Irons: Wilson Staff Pi5 Irons
Putter: Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball (Blade)
