Harrington holds off Simpson to win Grand Slam of Golf

Triple major winner Padraig Harrington, helped by three consecutive birdies after the turn, held off a last-day charge by U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda by one shot on Wednesday.

Triple major winner Padraig Harrington, helped by three consecutive birdies after the turn, held off a last-day charge by U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda by one shot on Wednesday.

Irishman Harrington, a late addition to the elite four-man field, fired a four-under-par 67 at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton for a nine-under total of 133 in the 36-hole event.

Two strokes ahead of Masters champion Bubba Watson overnight, Harrington mixed five birdies with a lone bogey at the par-four last to fend off American Simpson, who closed with a best-of-the-week 65.

It was the 41-year-old Irishman's first victory since the 2010 Iskandar Johor Open on the Asian Tour.

"It feels good. I haven't won in a while. Winning is a habit and it's nice to do it," Harrington said. "I believe that there's good stuff in my game."
