Pádraig: I’m ready for Ryder test

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON delivered the European Ryder Cup team a timely boost in producing an impressive eight under par 64 on the final day of the Vivendi Cup in Chambourcy.

The triple Major champion got to within three strokes of the leader in holing a six foot putt in the last and coming from 10 shots back at the start of the round to record a 13-under par tally under a “preferred lie” rule on the Marly Course at Golf de Joyevnal.

England’s John Parry – a team-mate of Rory McIlroy in the 2007 Walker Cup – became the third rookie to win on this season’s European Tour.
