It was Harrington's lowest 72-hole score in his professional career and the 51-year-old made history by beating the PGA Tour Champions record by a single shot.
Harrington did not claim the season-long Charles Schwab Cup due to Steven Alker finishing inside the top five but the Dubliner will be happy with his weekend's work - taking home a cheque worth $440,000.
