Padraig Harrington showcased his enduring skill and tenacity to win the 2025 U.S. Senior Open at The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, defeating Stewart Cink by one stroke. The Irish golfing legend finished at 11-under par, carding a final-round performance that included a crucial birdie on the 18th to secure his second U.S. Senior Open title, following his 2022 victory.

A Thrilling Finish

Harrington, starting the final day tied for the lead with Cink and Mark Hensby, navigated a challenging back nine with resilience. Despite a double bogey on the 12th and a three-putt bogey on the 15th, his chip-in birdie on the last hole proved decisive. Cink, who briefly led after four consecutive birdies early in the round, fell short with a missed putt on the 18th, finishing at 10-under. Harrington’s ability to stay composed under pressure highlighted his veteran experience.

Equipment That Sealed the Victory

Harrington’s success was bolstered by his meticulously chosen Wilson Staff equipment, tailored to the demanding conditions of The Broadmoor. His gear included:

• Driver: Titleist TSR3 (9 degrees) with Fujikura Ventus 7X shaft
• Fairway Woods: TaylorMade QI10 (3), TaylorMade Stealth 2 (5)
• Irons: Wilson Staff Tech Utility (3) with Accra TZ25 Proto 1050i shaft, Wilson Staff CB (5-PW) with KBS Tour V-125 shafts

This equipment combination allowed Harrington to hit fairways consistently and manage the course’s heavy rough, contributing to his four rounds in the 60s.

At 53, Harrington’s victory adds to his illustrious career, which includes three major championships on the regular tour and nine PGA Tour Champions titles. His win places him alongside golf greats, reinforcing his reputation as a competitor who thrives in major championships.
