Harrington’s shoots a 63 but it’s not enough to pass Goosen

IAN POULTER claimed his second Italian Open title in three years after former Open champion Paul Lawrie suffered a dramatic last hole collapse.

Ireland's Padraig Harrington shared sixth place on 14 under after a final-round 63 not quite enough for him to overtake Retief Goosen at the top of the Order of Merit ahead of the final event of the season, the Volvo Masters, next week.

Lawrie had moved into a one-shot lead with a birdie on the 17th while Poulter three-putted for bogey, only for the Scot to then drive out of bounds on the 18th.
