Harrington battles on

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington battled foul weather and a wrist injury in defence of his Open title at Royal Birkdale today, but former champion Sandy Lyle quit after just 10 holes.

Harrington injured his right wrist on Saturday and put his chances of teeing off at 75% and only 50-50 to get through the championship, but was on the first tee as scheduled at 7:58am.
