Harrington maintains impressive form

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON is in joint third place at the Nedback Golf Challenge, having led for much of the day. Harrington’s 69 was a continuation of his excellent late-season form — but it could have been even better.

The 35-year-old won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October and clinched his first Order of Merit title with second place at the Volvo Masters at Valderrama.

The Dubliner was also sixth at the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai, before beating world number one Tiger Woods in a play-off at the Dunlop Phoenix event in Japan earlier this month.
