Harrington battles to overcome injuries ahead of Ryder Cup

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON will today discover how well he has recovered from the injuries which put his Ryder Cup participation in doubt.

Harrington tackles the German Masters as he returns to competition having suffered from a neck problem, as well as an ankle injury which worsened after he turned it at the Dutch Open in late July.

The Dubliner had a scan on the ankle that showed only inflamed ligaments and he is more optimistic after working over the weekend with his coach Bob Torrance, father of Ryder Cup captain Sam.
