New ‘paint job’ is working for Harrington

If Pádraig Harrington is to end a six-year winless drought in capturing a third Alfred Dunhill Links Championship he will do so with a putter he painted himself.

In yet another bizarre chapter in the make-up of the three-time Major winner, Harrington revealed he is using a new putter sporting a white face he painted ahead of the recent KLM Open.

So far the new ‘paint job’ has worked with Harrington sharing second place with fellow Irishman Shane Lowry and two others at eight under par and just a stroke behind Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin (70), who heads the event on nine under par.
