Harrington moves to sixth in rankings

PADRAIG HARRINGTON arrived in Korea yesterday to receive some very good news.

He has moved up two places in the world rankings from 8th to 6th ahead of Jim Furyk and Davis Love III. This equals the Irishman’s best position and is its own tribute to the quality and consistency of his golf over the past several years.

Wins aren’t all that frequent for the 33-year-old Dubliner, his only one so far this year coming in the German Masters, but runners-up and regular top ten spots are worth a whole lot of points and that’s one good reason why he has reached such an eminent position in the game.
