Harrington, Norman head in different directions

A "satisfying" win

Norman falters
More PGA Videos SOUTHPORT, England (AP)—Padraig Harrington and Greg Norman strolled away from the 18th green at Royal Birkdale, all even at two major championships apiece.

Then, they headed off in different directions.

Harrington had to reclaim the claret jug and ponder his growing stature within the sport. He’s gone back-to-back in the British Open, but doesn’t intend to stop there.

“I didn’t realize I’d get another major so quickly,” the Irishman said Sunday evening, savoring a four-stroke victory in golf’s oldest championship.

But, he was quick to add, “I WAS confident it would happen again.”

Norman never saw this one coming. At 53, he got an improbable chance to rekindle the glory that supposedly passed him by years ago. Now, he can get back to his honeymoon with tennis great Chris Evert and return to being a part-time hacker.

Of course, it sure would have been nice to rewrite the ending to his underachieving legacy.

“I can walk away from here being disappointed,” Norman said, having shot a 7-over 77 to toss away a two-shot lead in the final round. “But I can walk away from here with my head held high.”
