Harrington stays in hunt after back nine comeback

Pádraig Harrington staged a brave comeback to keep in touch with leader Vijay Singh on the opening day of the 70th Masters at Augusta last night.

He started five, seven – bogey, double bogey – but covered the back nine in 33 for one over. He then made twos at the 12th and 16th and picked up another shot on the 17th to finish with a one over par 73.
