2007 Open in pictures

Round one: The Open begins with a stunning 68 from teenager Rory McIlroy, who goes on to win the silver medal for best amateur

Dubliner Paul McGinley ends up in second place after an opening 67, despite finding sand at the 16th

American Boo Weekley also makes a tremendous start at his first tournament away from the United States, carding a fine 68

But Spaniard Sergio Garcia makes the early running, carding a 65 to put him two strokes clear of the field

Round two: Defending champion Tiger Woods drives into the Barry Burn at the first and cards a 74, effectively ending his challenge

KJ Choi gets himself in the mix with a second-straight 69 to end the day two behind Garcia - who settles for a 71

There are plenty of big names to fall however, and Phil Mickelson fails to make the cut after a second-round 77 leaves him on six over

Another major casualty is home favourite Colin Montgomerie, whose 74 means he sits out the weekend for the second year running

Round three: Ian Poulter starts well and is five under for the day after 14 but then drops four shots in the closing holes to drop back

Veteran Steve Stricker rolls back the years with a course-record equalling 64, which puts him second on six under

Garcia hits a photographer with his ball at the 17th but he still manages a 68 to lead by three going into the final day

Final round: Woods starts the day eight shots off the lead but the charge does not come and a 70 sees him finish tied for 12th

As Garcia suffers a mid-round stumble, Andres Romero takes a share of the lead but he drops three shots in the final two holes

Padraig Harrington storms up the leaderboard and leads by one coming to the last but incredibly finds the Barry Burn twice

Harrington's slip gives Garcia a par putt at the 18th for victory, but the ball slips past the hole and the pair are left to contest a play-off

Harrington never looks back after going two ahead on the first hole and he sinks a five-foot bogey putt at the last for a dramatic victory

While Harrington celebrates, Garcia is left to consider what might have been and is consoled by compatriot Miguel Angel Jimenez

Harrington savours the applause at Carnoustie as he becomes the first European major winner since Paul Lawrie in 1999
