Padraig Harrington jumps to World Number 12

Ireland's Padraig Harrington lifted the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship trophy for the second time in four years with a bogey free final round of 68 over the Old Course at St. Andrews giving him a five stroke victory over Welshman Bradley Dredge, American Edward Loar and England's Anthony Wall. Harrington climbs to World Number 12 a jump of seven positions.

Davis Love-III ended a three-year run without a win when he won the Chrysler Classic at Greensboro at Forest Oaks Country Club, a course which he helped redesign in 2003. Love's position in the Official World Golf Ranking improves from 26th to 19th with this win.

This week's other winners were Lin Wen-Tang at the Taiwan Open on the Asian Tour, Kevin Na at the Mark Christopher Charity Classic on the Nationwide Tour and Julien Foret at the Golf Open International de Toulouse on the European Challenge Tour.
