Quintuple bogey ends Harrington’s challenge

AGONY.

Just a week after taking an excruciating eight to throwaway the Bridgestone Invitational, Pádraig Harrington repeated the trick to see his hopes of winning the US PGA and his fourth major championship sink without trace at wind-blown Hazeltine National last night.

One stroke behind leader Tiger Woods and tied for second with Korea’s YE Yang on six-under par after opening with seven solid pars, the Dubliner racked up a horrific, quintuple bogey eight on the par-three eighth hole to kiss the title goodbye in the most bizarre and stomach-churning fashion.
