WATCH: Padraig Harrington gets into verbal exchange with veteran on-course analyst at U.S. Senior Open

Padraig Harrington became involved in a verbal altercation with NBC's on-course analyst Roger Maltbie during the second round of the 2025 U.S. Senior Open. The ace golfer was caught calling out the veteran analyst for failing to help him locate the ball.

On Friday, June 27, Harrington shot a 3-under 67 to move to 6-under overall. He picked up six birdies against three bogeys to take a share of the 36-hole lead by three strokes at Broadmoor Golf Club.

Following the second round of the U.S. Senior Open, Brett Forrest of KOAA News5 shared a video showing Padraig Harrington in a verbal exchange with Maltbie.

"Never on a golf course stand and look at somebody looking for a golf ball," the two time major champion was caught saying.

Harrington's comments didn’t sit well with Maltbie, who responded by saying it was a difficult position for the golfer to take and reminded him that he was no longer a player. However, the Irish veteran continued to insist, repeating his point to Maltbie for nearly a minute. Here's the video:
