Frustrated Pádraig snubs reporters

The Dubliner rebounded from a bogey at the 17th hole with a birdie at the last to fire a 66 at the Gary Player Country Club and overtake early pacesetter Ross Fisher (67) and world number one Lee Westwood (68).

Harrington was in a spot of difficulty on 18 as his drive found the left semi-rough, but he produced one of the shots of the day to hit his approach shot over some trees and to within four feet of the flag, setting up the seventh birdie of his round.
