Fatigued Harrington admits lack of practice

It was always going to be asking a lot of Padraig Harrington to follow back-to-back major wins with a starring role in the Ryder Cup - but it was still a shock to see the Open and PGA champion going through a second successive match without winning a game.

He was in good company this time, though. Half the team, including Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood and wild card Paul Casey, did not have a win.
