Harrington set for Olazabal Ryder Cup snub

Pádraig Harrington is facing the reality of not qualifying for next month’s Ryder Cup.

Harrington, who was competing in the company of USA Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, posted a four-over-par 76 to fall back to two over par but assured of making the halfway cut in the year’s final Major.

The course along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline played on the first day like a pit bull terrier with no teeth, calm and hardly offensive, but yesterday’s second round it turned into a pit bull terrier with a tooth ache, nasty and now very angry.
