Irish players to tee off at Invitational

There are three Irish golfers involved in this week's WGC-NEC Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.

Padraig Harrington, Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke will contest the second of the season's four World Golf Championships.

World number one Tiger Woods, who has failed to win a Major this year, did win the first WGC event of the year, the WGC-Accenture Match Play in California at the beginning of March.
