He is the first European to win a Major since 1999 and the first Irishman to win the Open for sixty years.This book celebrates Harrington's extraordinary achievement, in his own words and in the words of Ireland's finest sports writers, lavishly illustrated in colour throughout. From his early days, learning to play at Stackstown GC, his three Walker Cup appearances as an amateur, to turning pro and the European Tour, right through to winning the Order of Merit, the Irish Open and the Open itself, this book paints a stunning portrait of an extraordinary sporting hero.
