Harrington below par as great Dane takes the title

DENMARK'S Steen Tinning was the shock winner of the Telefonica Madrid Open yesterday as Pádraig Harrington blew a great chance to take over at the top of Europe's Order of Merit.

Harrington, one shot ahead with a round to play, fell to joint seventh place with an error-ridden one over par 72 - and among the players he shared that spot with was Retief Goosen.

It means the South African stays just under £34,000 ahead with two events to come, but the Ryder Cup Irishman still has an advantage. He plays this week's Italian Open while Goosen is in America at their Tour Championship.
