Cut runs deep for Irish at Sawgrass

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON will not be tempted to play a practice round at Augusta National despite missing the halfway cut for a first time in the Players Championship in Florida.

Harrington recorded a second round of 73 to end day two with a two over par tally and two strokes shy of the expected level par cut off mark.

Joining Harrington on the sidelines over the weekend is Paul McGinley, who ended with a six over par tally whilst Darren Clarke made the cut to his earlier score of 73.
