Harrington out of BMW - and no wonder

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON’S decision to withdraw from this week’s BMW Championship means that he is unlikely to pick up any of the $35 million bonus money at stake in the new FexEx Series on the US Tour.

Harrington cited “fatigue” as his reason for cutting short his US campaign and it is little wonder. Since his victory in the Open Championship in mid-July, he has been on the go.

He made little impression in the US PGA Championship and came 35th in his first FexEx appearance before missing the cut at the weekend in Boston.
