‘Army golf’ helps Harrington shoot out of trouble

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON’S reputation as one of golf’s greatest scramblers may have been in jeopardy prior to yesterday’s second round of the 3 Irish Open at Killarney.

However, the manner in which he somehow got round the Killeen Course in 67 shots was testimony to the man’s incredible ability in this department.

Playing partner Graeme McDowell admitted that he was “given a lesson in the art of getting the ball in the hole, I had to stand there and watch chip-ins and bombs and all that kind of stuff.”
