Harrington three strokes off pace in Georgia

Padraig Harrington moved to within three strokes of the leader Zach Johnson of America after a third round 67 took him into a share of second place alongside another American Scott Hend on 206, ten under par, in the BellSouth Classic at the TPC at Sugarloaf, Georgia.

Harrington, runner up in The Players Championship to fellow European Tour Member Adam Scott of Australia after coming within a shot of forcing a play-off when he finished the TPC at Sawgrass with six threes last week, is once again in contention for his first US PGA Tour title after recovering from a triple bogey seven on the fifth with eight birdies elsewhere on the course.
