FedEx struggle for Harrington

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON will need to shoot the lights out at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts today in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship if he wants to retain an active interest in the season-ending FedEx Cup series.

Harrington added a third round 69 to Saturday’s 73, which left him on one under par and in 87th place, well outside the top 70 players in the four-event play-off series on the US PGA Tour.

The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup rankings advance to the BMW Championship, with 30 moving on from there to the season-ending Tour Championship. The FedEx Cup winner receives a $10m bonus.
