Storm-force Pádraig

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON whipped up a storm of his own to keep his FedEx Cup chances alive and challenge for victory in the hurricane-threatened Barclays in New Jersey.

Storm-force Pádraig

With PGA Tour officials opting to reduce to first play-off event to 54 holes because of Hurricane Irene, the Dubliner goes into today’s final round just four shots behind clubhouse leader and defending champion Matt Kuchar on 10 under par after rounds of 65 and 67.

His weather-delayed 65 was his lowest round anywhere since he opened with a 64 en route victory in the Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia 10 months ago and he kept it going when he headed straight back out and fired seven birdies in a second round 67 to provisionally share third place with Justin Rose and Aaron Baddeley.
