PLAYOFF HOLE 4

Harrington plays it safe off the tee, using an iron to keep his ball in the fairway short of Barry Burn. Garcia goes with his driver and winds up in the rough along the left side. Harrington lays up short of the burn, then hits a wedge to about 35 feet. Garcia reaches the green with a 6-iron from 203 yards, but his 20-foot putt slides across the left edge of the cup and he settles for par. Harrington makes a 3-footer for bogey to win the British Open.
