Harrington still has jackpot in his sights

PADRAIG Harrington remains very much in contention for another big finish in the BMW Championship at Cog Hill, Chicago, and a chance at the $10 million jackpot on offer at the end of the US Tour’s FedEx Series in two weeks time.

He shot a second round of 68 for a total of six under par, one off the pace being set by Mark Wilson and Tiger Woods.

However, he would be tied for the lead had he not driven out of bounds at the 18th last night when tied for the lead, the latest in a series of serious errors that have bedevilled him in recent and most especially when running up a quintuple bogey eight at the par three 8th in the US PGA Championship last month.
