JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia (AP) — Padraig Harrington has earned his first victory in two years, winning the Asian Tour’s Iskandar Johor Open by three strokes over Noh Seung-yul of Korea.
The three-time major champion shot a 3-under 69 Sunday to finish at 20-under 268 at Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club in Malaysia’s southern Johor state.
The Irishman, part of Europe’s Ryder Cup winning team, said “it was my week to win.”
Harrington last won in 2008 at the PGA Championship. It was his third Asian Tour title after previous wins in Taipei and Hong Kong.
Noh shot a 65 and was one stroke ahead of Lin Wen-tang of Taiwan, who closed with a 68.
