Padraig Harrington has officially broken the PGA Tour Champions 72-hole scoring record after finishing the Charles Schwab Cup on a high.

The two-time British Open champion carded a final-round 65 to win the tournament by seven shots on 27-under-par.

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.
