SOUTHPORT, England - From the British Open media center late on Sunday evening, there were constant reminders of what Padraig Harrington had just achieved. (article 6)
The temporary metal support structure overhead groaned, trembled and rattled in the high winds that continued to rock Royal Birkdale long after Harrington had repossessed the champion's claret jug. (article 6)
A smudge of red was all that was left of the sun when, inside a marquee overlooking the Royal Birkdale course, Nick Faldo ended an after-dinner speech last Tuesday night. (article 4)
At that moment, Harrington lay eighteenth in the European standings and Faldo thought that was not good enough. (article 4)
The only asterisk necessary on the Claret Jug next to champion Padraig Harrington's name would be this: Prevailed in the toughest conditions of wind and rain over all four days in recent memory. (article 11)
Padraig Harrington enjoys few moments more than the walk down 18th fairway of a century-old links course, especially with a four-shot lead in the British Open and the engraver putting the final touches on the oldest trophy in golf. (article 7)
The last time a golfer did what Greg Norman has a chance to do in the British Open, his name was Old Tom and the American Civil War had recently ended. (article 9)
