French flair evades Harrington

IT WAS a long, anxious afternoon wait for Pádraig Harrington, along with his two elder brothers, before confirmation the triple Major winner had done enough to play all four rounds of the Vivendi Cup at Chambourcy.

It also allowed Ryder Cup captain, Colin Montgomerie breathe a sigh of relief after earlier in the week losing rookie Peter Hanson from the French event due to illness.

However there was hardly any joy for Harrington on day two of the €1.25m event at the Golf de Joyevnal course.
