Third time lucky for Padraig Harrington after two play-off defeats in Bermuda

Padraig Harrington was delighted to take care of some "unfinished business" after winning the Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda.

Encouraged

Simpson, who shot a 65 on Wednesday, was full of praise for the man that pipped him to the title. "He's playing well and made the putts you've got to make, but I'm really encouraged with how I played," he said of Harrington. "My weakness this year has been when I'm in between clubs and I try to smooth one. My body kind of shuts down and doesn't work as well - it's just an eye-opener that I've got a lot of work to do in the off-season. "I wish I could have putt a little more pressure on Padraig (at the last), but he'd probably have two-putted if he had to." Harrington, who got his chance after the first two reserves, Graeme McDowell and Tiger Woods, opted not to play, joins 1991 champion Ian Woosnam as the only European winners of the title.
