2007 British Open: Garcia - Harrington Playoff

Just as we predicted about an hour ago, the 2007 British Open winner will have to be decided by playoff.

2007 British Open: Garcia - Harrington Playoff The final day of the 2007 British Open put immense pressure on the Spanish golfer, and even though he had the trophy practically handed to him, he had to battle for it on a playoff.

Padraig Harrington was sitting atop of the leaderboard towards the end of the Day 4 of the Open Championship, but all was to much for Harrington and he double bogeyed on the 18th to drop down to 7-under par and finish second at this year Open Championship. This put Sergio Garcia on the lead with one over Harrington, but the 27-year-old Garcia did not manage to keep his lead and bogeyed on the 18th, as well, to finish tied for the 1st with Harrington and take the British Open to a playoff.

Sergio Garcia played well throughout the Championship and Padraig Harrington was great at the final day. Playoff between the two is the best thing that could happen to all the British Open spectators. They will play the first, 16th, 17th and 18th holes in the playoff for the win.
