It was a sad day for golfer Padraig Harrington and his family after one of his beloved pet dogs passed away through illness.
Harrington revealed his dog, Wilson, died after fighting sepsis for a week after being with the family for years.
He posted a selection of images with the dog and his family alongside the caption: ‘A sad day for my family and I today, as we lost Wilson after a week of fighting sepsis. We had a great 5 years together and we will always remember the good times he gave us.’

KJ Choi lifted the trophy as he recorded a final round of 70 to finish on ten-under-par for a two-shot victory over Green, with Paul Broadhurst in third place on six-under-par.
“That’s what happens in this game,” Harrington said. “I knew I had to push today. I think even after that, the couple of eagle chances, I had three good eagle chances there. I could have slipped a few more putts in.
“But the good news for me is KJ has run away with it, which is a nice thing. I would hate to be finishing up today and six under par, seven under par was winning; it was would have been a disappointing day.”
