Harrington pays price for wild tee shots

Pádraig Harrington’s hopes of ending his six-year PGA Tour drought ended in a barrage of wild tee shots just outside Dallas last night.

But, as the Dubliner went into the last few holes of the HP Byron Nelson Championship four over for his round and a hopeless 10 shots off the pace, he could look to the future with optimism as he continued to chip and putt like the man who won his third major in 13 months back in 2008.

Just two shots behind Louis Oosthuizen and Brendon Todd starting the day, the 42-year old hit just one fairway on the front nine, mixing two birdies with two bogeys and a double bogey six to go out in 37 and fall six shots off the pace at TPC Four Seasons at Las Colinas.
