Harrington slides in rankings
Harrington won the Irish PGA championship – just as he did the last two years – on Saturday, but that does not carry any ranking points and he goes down from 12th to 14th.
That is the same position he was in when he triumphed at Birkdale last July, while he was 10th prior to his Carnoustie victory two years ago.
German Martin Kaymer, who completed an eight-day French and Scottish Opens double on Sunday, and American Sean O’Hair are now ahead of the Dubliner at 11th and 13th respectively. By managing only 46th place at Loch Lomond 20-year-old Rory McIlroy has fallen out of the world’s top 20.
