Harrington, focused on his game, did not notice Rory McIlroy&#8217;s presence in the gallery, nor the scoreboards, solidifying his victory with a final round of 67 strokes, three under par.\n\nHarrington, starting with a two-stroke lead, secured his triumph with an eagle on the first hole of the Old Course at Sunningdale. From that moment on, no one got closer than two strokes away, marking a milestone in his career.\n\nThe victory makes him the fifth player to win both the British Open and the Senior British Open, an achievement that highlights his longevity and success in golf.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;m thrilled to have won, but very satisfied to have won a Senior Open with my two Opens.
