Harrington struggles to maintain majestic form of Florida

FIVE days after one of the best performances of his career, Pádraig Harrington found himself struggling to find the same adrenalin yesterday.

But the 32-year-old still battled away for a two-under-par 70 in the first round of the BellSouth Classic in Atlanta, the final tournament before next week's Masters.

"I was a little bit flat in places," admitted Harrington, five strokes behind little-known American Roger Tambellini midway through the day.
