McEvoy feels the heat

Richard McEvoy’s lead at the Omega Hong Kong Open was eroded today as the chasing group, led by Padraig Harrington, reeled in the European Tour rookie.

McEvoy led overnight by two shots on 10-under-par, but a nervous start today was compounded by the form of Harrington, Sweden’s Christopher Hanell and Prayad Marksaeng of Thailand who all applied the pressure.
