Harrington re-creates his famous 5 wood shot at Birkdale

This Week In Golf: May 22 - 28

Padraig Harrington returned to Royal Birkdale on Monday ahead of the 146th Open Championship which returns to the Southport links in July.

The Irishman re-enacted his defining shot on the 572-yard par-5 17th hole that clinched his second Open title in 2008 by hitting the new Wilson Staff D300 5-wood club from the same spot on the fairway.

His tap in eagle nine years ago followed birdies on the 13th and 15th to post a flawless back-nine of 32 and end the challenges of Greg Norman and Ian Poulter to retain the Claret Jug.
