Padraig Harrington gives fan bundle of cash after striking him on head with drive

Padraig Harrington handed a bundle of cash over to a spectator after striking him on the head with his drive during the Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship on Sunday.

The Dubliner was quick to check on the man after striking him with his drive on the 16th hole and gifted him a signed glove as well as the sum of cash.

Harrington went on to lose a play-off to Steve Stricker after leading the way for the first three rounds at Frisco.

The three-time major winner birdied the 18th hole to force a play-off after Striker missed a long putt for birdie.

However, Harrington drove into a hazard as they played the 18th again as the first play-off hole, with Stricker getting a birdie as the Irishman missed his putt to do the same.

Speaking afterwards, Harrington said: "Steve is probably the toughest guy you could ever play on a Sunday. He has to have the best wedge game in the world. Like he's a fabulous putter, he's a fabulous chipper, but his wedge play like at the first 14 holes was just spectacular."
