Padraig Harrington defended the British Open championship at Royal Birkdale by winning the championship for a second sucessive year.
While pulling away from the field on the final six holes Sunday at Royal Birkdale, Padraig Harrington showed that there's more than one way to win a British Open.

Last year at Carnoustie Golf Club, Harrington battled Sergio Garcia tooth and nail to capture his first major championship in a playoff. This time around, Harrington's late surge gave him a four-shot victory over Ian Poulter, making him Europe's first back-to-back Open champion in more than a century.
