Keane made history as the first Lahinch man to win the Pierse Motor Group South of Ireland title in 57 years. Harrington triumphed at Sunningdale's Old Course, finishing with a three-under 67 and winning by three shots. He expressed joy and satisfaction at claiming his third senior major. Acknowledging his potential limited time in competitive golf, he reflected on the significance of joining elite ranks. Keane also secured a poignant victory at Lahinch, making a final birdie putt on the 18th.
"Right now I'm just thrilled to have won the tournament and gone out there and played well," said two-time Open champion Harrington, who claimed his third senior major and became just the third man after Player and Bernhard Langer to win the Senior Open and the US Senior Open in the same season.
"I think that will seep in. I know you were talking about how I won The Open, to win the Senior Open, there's only five players, so you want to be in that category."
"There are some great names on the trophy. I was watching it coming out last night. I was looking up inside at the board that has all the winners. It's a deep sense of satisfaction."
"You know, you can win later on as a senior but the window, they say, sort of up to about 55, 56, so you want to get it done."
