Traditionally, players who use mallet putters aren't the best at holing out on the greens. Padraig Harrington pretty much threw that theory out of the window at Oakland Hills yesterday, however. The buck-toothed Irishman's final round 66 (his second in as many days) can be largely put down to his incredible skills with the putter.

Porridge nailed three clutch putts in the final three holes, none of which ever really looked in doubt of finding the cup. He looked completely in the zone yesterday and produced a final 18 holes worthy of winning any major. The only thing that's left to sort out now is that stupid face he pulls after every shot...

IGWT Loves...

. Camilo Villegas' final round outfit.
. Padraig Harrington's putting. Mint.
. Sky Sport's tactical use of Butch Harmon...
. European dominance.
. No Tiger. There, we said it...

IGWT Hates...

. Padraig Harrington's teeth...
. And the fact that he's still the world's third best golfer. Where's the justice?
. Waiting eight months for another major...
. Pesky American kids in the galleries.
. Henrik Stenson for throwing a hissy fit.

There's only one thing better than getting a hole-in-one at a major, and that's doing so whilst looking seriously dapper in the process. At the end of the day, an ace is an ace and besides, we don't need an excuse to give Freddie an award here at IGWT.

Understandably, the crowd went mental during the final round as the Swede's ball took a hop, skip and a jump into the hole the at the 191-yard par three 13th. Apparently that number's unlucky for some...
