Clarke and Harrington struggling to make cut

NOT since the US Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills in 2003 has Pádraig Harrington finished in the top ten of a major championship.

And after yesterday’s very disappointing six over 76 in the opening round of the US PGA Championship at Baltusrol, it looks like he won’t do so this time either.

Even worse than that, the chances are that Harrington is now on his way to missing the cut in each of the three majors he has contested in 2005.
