Harrington on Tiger’s tail

PADRAIG HARRINGTON hung on grimly to finish just a shot behind Tiger Woods as the Tour Championship reached the halfway stage in Georgia last night.

Harrington on Tiger’s tail

Harrington and Woods had turned the event into a two-horse race until America’s world number one unleashed a laser of a five-wood from the 15th fairway at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta to put daylight between himself and the Irishman.

Woods, however, bogeyed the last to finish just a shot clear of Harrington at five under par after 36 holes, the Dubliner a shot ahead of South Africa’s Ernie Els, who had emerged from the 30-man field into contention with a second-round, four-under-par 66.
