LOS ANGELES: Triple major winner Padraig Harrington, helped by three consecutive birdies after the turn, held off a last-day charge by US Open champion Webb Simpson to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda by one shot. It was the 41-year-old Irishman’s first victory since the 2010 Iskandar Johor Open on the Asian Tour, and a case of third time lucky for him at the Grand Slam of Golf. “It was unfinished business for me, having lost in two playoffs, so it was nice to come back and win it now,” said Harrington. “It feels good. I haven’t won in a while. Winning is a habit and it’s nice to do it.”
