Harrington remains positive as putting woes continue

Pádraig Harrington’s run of top-10 Major finishes this year came to an end in The Open yesterday but he left Royal Lytham in a positive mood with the PGA Championship fast approaching and a Ryder Cup place to chase.

Harrington remains positive as putting woes continue

The three-time Major winner failed to convert great recent form and a top-four finish at the US Open last month into a third Claret Jug over the weekend, with rounds of 70-73 sending him to five over for the tournament and firmly in mid-division on the leaderboard.

Three bogeys and no birdies in the final round yesterday were the fault of poor putting but whereas that had been the issue for many months, Harrington was confident this time he was on the right path as he begins preparations for the last Major of the year at Kiawah Island in three weeks.
