Harrington comes out swinging after funny man Phil’s pot shot

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON has taken comfort from his peers after last week’s shock Abu Dhabi disqualification.

Harrington has been overwhelmed by the support from his tour colleagues since he was thrown out of last week’s event in the UAE capital for signing for a wrong score after not imposing a two-stroke penalty on himself.

The Dubliner’s offence was spotted by an eagle-eyed television viewer who contacted European Tour chiefs after Harrington had inadvertently brushed his ball forward on the putting green during the opening round.
