Top 10 British Open Moments
By Paul Mahoney

1. Padraig Harrington's 72nd hole
Harrington nearly outdid a certain Frenchman by finding the water twice, but he saved double bogey and won the playoff to redeem himself. Harrington's despair on the 18th green was broken by his son Paddy running out for a hug. If you didn't get a lump in your throat watching that scene, check your pulse.
