By Alistair Hogg PGA TOUR/European Tour Richard Green equalled the course record with a barnstorming run of 64 in the final round, but it was a disappointing tournament all in all for the Australian contingent. Just six Aussies made the cut, leaving 14 players observing the weekend from the gallery. Green was the standout performer after his final-day charge which gave him a share of fourth alongside South African Ernie Els. His round of 64 included six birdies and an eagle on 14 and the left-hander would have tied the course record if not for a bogey on the 18th. Adam Scott and Rod Pampling posted respectable totals of two-over, while former National Squad player Won Joon Lee finished at seven over the card. Irishman Padraig Harrington was left holding the Claret Jug after a final round meltdown from Sergio Garcia. The Spaniard led from the opening round but failed to find his range on the final day, succumbing in a four-hole playoff. Garcia wasn&apost able to hole a putt while Harrington helped himself to four birdies and an eagle on his way to a clutch 67. However holding a one-stroke lead going up the 18th, Harrington found the water with consecutive shots which appeared to spell a sad end to his campaign. He scrambled for a six which forced Garcia to make par on the 72nd hole for the championship. Despite a super, yet conservative tee shot down the middle, Garcia found the sand with his approach and after recovering from the bunker, missed the 8-foot putt which would have clinched his first Major championship and buried the ghosts of 1999. As they say in the classics, the rest is history as Harrington birdied the first playoff hole while the Spaniard posted a bogey to face a two-shot deficit with three to play. The margin was too much and despite clawing a shot back on the final hole, Harrington claimed his first Major.

The 27-year old overcame Brittany Lang 4&3 and then former world number one Annika Sorenstam 3&2 to shoot into the third round. Sorenstam had scraped into the second round with an epic 20 hole victory over young Aussie Katherine Hull, but the Swede was no match for Wright who wrapped up the contest on the 16th. Wright continued her march to the finals with a third round triumph over Jeong Jang. Despite losing the opening two holes, Wright hit back to square the match on the seventh. A birdie on 17 was enough to see the Australian through to the quarter finals. Sadly, that&aposs as far as Wright would progress when she was outclassed 3&2 by Seon Hwa Lee. The South Korean took an early lead and despite the best efforts of Wright, she would bow out honourably to Lee who went on to become champion with a 2&1 victory over Ai Miyazato in the final.
