NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—Irishman Padraig Harrington survived two double bogeys to hold off Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee and win the Hoag Classic on Sunday, March 24, at Newport Beach Country Club.
Harrington started the day with a one-shot edge over Jaidee, and both players turned in rounds of 2–under 69, though they got there in wildly different ways. For Harrington, who finished the three-round tournament at 14–under 199, it was his seventh win on the PGA Tour Champions.
