F-3: Winner of 2022 U.S. Senior Open

The three-time major champion earned his place in the field with his one-stroke victory in the 2022 U.S. Senior Open at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa. The affable Irishman held off a hard-charging Steve Stricker in the final round to become the first player from the Republic of Ireland to win a USGA title. Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy, both from Northern Ireland, claimed U.S. Open titles in consecutive years (2010 and 2011, respectively), and last September, Matthew McClean from Northern Ireland won the U.S. Mid-Amateur. Harrington, the owner of 36 worldwide victories, won the The Open Championship and PGA Championship in 2008. A year earlier, he won his first major at The Open Championship in a playoff over Sergio Garcia at Carnoustie. All of Harrington's victories on the PGA Tour Champions came in 2022. After his U.S. Senior Open triumph, he captured the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, the Ascension Charity Classic and the Charles Schwab Championship to close the season. That earned him PGA Tour Champions Rookie of the Year honors. As an amateur, Harrington represented Great Britain & Ireland in three consecutive Walker Cups, including 1995 at Royal Porthcawl in Wales when GB&I defeated a USA side that featured Tiger Woods. Irishmen Harrington and Jody Fanagan teamed to defeat Woods and Walker Cup stalwart John Harris in Sunday foursomes, 3 and 2. He represented Europe in six Ryder Cups and captained the team in 2021. He was named the European Tour's Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and PGA Tour Player of the Year in 2008. This will be his 17th U.S. Open start.
