Golf: Harrington chances threatened by wrist injury

Padraig Harrington is seriously concerned that an injury originally suffered playing Gaelic football 12 years ago could damage his chances of winning the Murphy’s Irish Open this week.

No home player has won the event since John O’Leary way back in 1982, but with Harrington, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley respectively second, fourth and ninth in the current Ryder Cup table hopes have never been higher.
