Harrington Calmly Corrals Third Major

On Sunday, Padraig Harrington garnered the PGA Championship. Harrington’s total three under par bested Ben Curtis and Sergio Garcia (-1). Henrik Stenson and Camilo Villegas (+1) knotted for fourth.

With two obstacles remaining, Curtis, Garcia, and Harrington were even. Curtis bogeyed seventeen. He pared eighteen. Garcia pared seventeen. He bogeyed eighteen. Harrington logged a birdie-par combination. “I love the idea of the back nine of a major on Sunday,” said Harrington. “I love it so much that I'm actually disappointed I'm seven months away from the next major. And I don't know what I'm going to do.”

On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers traded Brett Favre to the New York Jets. On Friday, the 2008 Olympics commenced. Amidst these spectacles, the PGA Championship occurred. Harrington’s triumph may not be celebrated. However, anonymity suits this champion.
