Inhaltsangabe

Padraig Harrington is one of the world's top golfers. The highest rated European in the world rankings, he beat Sergio Garcia in a nail-biting four-hole play-off to win the 2007 Open Championship at Carnoustie. He is the first European to win a Major since 1999 and the first Irishman to win the Open for sixty years. This book celebrates Harrington's extraordinary achievement, in his own words and in the words of Ireland's finest sports writers, lavishly illustrated in colour throughout. From his early days, learning to play at Stackstown GC, his three Walker Cup appearances as an amateur, to turning pro and the European Tour, right through to winning the Order of Merit, the Irish Open and the Open itself, this book paints a stunning portrait of an extraordinary sporting hero.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Padraig Harrington was born in Ballyroan, Dublin in 1971. After a successful amateur career, including three Walker Cup appearances, numerous Irish caps and winning every major Irish amateur title, Harrington turned professional in 1995 and earned his European Tour card through the Qualifying School. His first victory came in only his tenth start as a professional. He has won 12 times on the European Tour, twice on the US Tour and six other international titles. He has also won the World Cup for Ireland and has represented Europe in the Ryder Cup four times, winning on three occasions. In 2006 he won the Harry Vardon Trophy as leader of the European Tour Order of Merit and in 2007 became the first Irishman player in 25 years to win the Irish Open, before becoming 'Champion Golfer of the Year' by winning his first Major, the Open Championship, at Carnoustie.
