Nobody ever said winning a major championship – at any level – is easy. Just ask Padraig Harrington. What looked like it would be an easy Sunday stroll around Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course turned into a much-too-close-for-comfort final round of the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship.

Harrington, who began the day with a five-stroke cushion, had to sweat out a one-stroke victory over 2019 champion Steve Stricker, becoming the third consecutive player to win this championship in his first appearance, and the 11th overall.

Harrington Leads Stricker By 1 At Halfway Point of U.S. Senior Open

Padraig Harrington overcame a broken driver during warmups and what he called a rough patch mid-round on Friday to post a 6-under-par 65 and take the 36-hole lead by one stroke over 2019 champion Steve Stricker in the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship on the Old Course at Saucon Valley Country Club.

It was a tale of two waves on Thursday at the 42nd U.S. Senior Open Championship. Those fortunate enough to avoid the morning rain showers certainly benefited in Round 1 on Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course.

Streamsong Golf Resort Releases Routing and Logo on New Chain Course

Streamsong Golf Resort announced today the name, routing and new logo for the fourth golf course slated to join the award-winning golf offerings at the world-renowned destination. The newly released layout by the legendary design team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw (Coore & Crenshaw Design) shows six- and 12-hole loops, with the first tees a short walking distance from the Lodge at Streamsong.

The Chain, as the course is being dubbed, gets its name from the remnants of a piece of mining equipment used to hold a dragline bucket in place that was discovered on the site during the routing process. The Mosaic Company, which owns Streamsong, mined the 16,000-acre site for phosphate ore for decades, leading to the incredible sand formations that make the topography at this location unique. Special edition merchandise featuring The Chain logo will be available online and on site at Streamsong beginning in August.
