He captioned it: "A celebratory ice pop for Rio. Peanut butter and banana." Fans of the two-time British Open winner congratulated him whilst also looking forward to next month's edition which will be held at Royal Portrush in Antrim. Stephen hailed: "Congrats Padraig, great champion of the game. Hopefully keep playing great for Portrush too!" Read More On Irish Sport Meanwhile Bryson (not DeChambeau) added: "Well done Padraig & Rio. Great win!" Lastly, while thinking of Padraig's other dog, Ron joked: "Hopefully you made things right with Maltbie." In winning the tournament, Harrington earned a payday of $800,000. He had been tied heading into the last round after a 68 on Saturday - the same as Australia's Mark Hensby and American Cink. Most read in Golf But the Stackstown icon held his nerve despite a tense final hole at Broadmoor Golf Club. He carded a three under par 70 final round, which saw him finish on a total of 11 under par. Ryder Cup legend in furious argument over golf etiquette with respected TV reporter at US Senior Open His score was enough to pip his friend Cink to the title by one stroke, with Jimenez a further shot back after a stunning seven under round of 63. It was the 2024 Golf Hall of Fame inductee's tenth Senior's Tour title. Afterwards an elated Harrington "Look, here I'm not thinking I'm going to miss the cut. Touch wood that doesn't happen. "I'm not thinking about that. If you brought me to a regular event Thursday afternoon I would be thinking about the cut line. "Whereas here I'm thinking how do I get myself into position. And even the first couple of days I got going and I could have got away from the field. "I dropped back a couple (shots). I was still going. All I want to be is with nine holes to go to give myself a chance and be in the right head space at that time." MIGUEL'S MISHAP Third-placed Jimenez rued his approach on the 18th as he ultimately ran out of holes to reel in Harrington's lead. Reflecting on his costly bogey, he vented: "If I had a chance to get on the green, I would go for that. "But as I was talking with my caddie, 'OK, maybe you can pass the water, but we cannot do anything from there. Is it worth the risk?' "Then I still need to go, but he's right. Then make not a bad wedge where I hit it after. "I went high left, more or less, pin high and missed it, but at least give myself a chance to make 4. But if I put it in the water, bye-bye."

TV show with two big name stars quietly cancelled after just one season
A CRUISE ship melodrama has been quietly cancelled after just one season – despite being led by Dawson's Creek hunk, Joshua Jackson. The series, which was created by Glee and American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy, premiered in September last year in the US, before dropping on Disney+ in the UK. Advertisement 6 Doctor Odyssey has been cancelled after one season Credit: Getty 6 The cast was led by Joshua Jackson as a doctor on board a cruise liner Credit: PA 6 The barmy series also starred Don Johnson Credit: Getty Doctor Odyssey, which saw Jackson play Max Bankman, the new physician on board the titular luxury cruise liner, has now unfortunately been given the push by US network, ABC. According to Variety, the cast's contracts are set to expire today, with the network not putting the show back on its schedule. As a result, it seems like the comedy-drama, which became known for its campy predicaments each week, is dead in the water. This comes despite the strong cast including Miami Vice legend Don Johnson as the ship's loveable captain, Hamilton star Phillipa Soo as Bankman's nurse practitioner, Avery Morgan, and Skins' Sean Teale as fellow nurse Tristan Silva. Advertisement READ MORE DISNEY PLUS Doctor Odyssey followed the various medical issues Bankman and his team had to deal with while on the ship. The bizarre catastrophes ranged from one passenger contracting iodine poisoning after overdoing it on the all-you-can-eat shrimp, to a plastic-surgery loving woman whose nose fell off after snorting cocaine. As all this unfolds, the close quarters of the staff gives way to romance, prompting a review in It's 'bonkers' plot lines also include Max declaring himself 'the first person in the US to contract Covid' which sparked a new zest for life when he survived. Advertisement Most read in TV Throughout the show's initial run, Doctor Odyssey was also filled with megastars appearing in cameo roles – including Shania Twain, Angela Bassett, Kelsea Ballerini and John Stamos. However, it seems the jam-packed cast wasn't enough to keep the show afloat. At the time of writing, none of the main cast have commented on the show's cancellation. But fans have flocked to X (formerly Twitter) begging their "weird" and "nonsense" series to be saved. Advertisement "They really cancelled Doctor Odyssey and I feel personally attacked. Yeah, it was chaotic," wrote one. "Yeah, it didn't always make sense. But it had heart and in the end, I weirdly loved every minute of it. I'm gonna miss this messy, unserious emotional gem." "I don't know how they'd do it but they need to get Doctor Odyssey on a new channel somehow. I don't care if they have to have a major budget cut and it has to be filmed on a dinghy. Just bring it back to me," said another. While a third wrote: " I'm mourning the loss of #DoctorOdyssey today. I was hoping for Season 2 where the group goes through the Bermuda Triangle, goes back in time and sees dinosaurs.
