Ireland's Padraig Harrington has won The Open at Carnoustie.

Harrington foughtback tears as he paid tribute to his late father following a dramatic victory.

He beat Ryder Cup team-mate Sergio Garcia in a four-hole play-off after blowing a one-shot lead on the 72nd hole with a double bogey six.

The 35-year-old Dubliner pulled out of the Open at St Andrews in 2005 when his father Paddy - a former policeman - died from cancer days before the event.

An emotional Harrington said: "I'd like to thank my mum and dad. My dad is not here but Im sure he is looking down."
