Harrington and Immelman struggle at Abu Dhabi Championship

Padraig Harrington and Trevor Immelman, winners of three majors between them last year, were left with plenty of ground to make up after their opening rounds of the Abu Dhabi Championship today.

Open and US PGA champion Harrington, in his first appearance of 2009, returned a one-under-par 71 to be five behind the early clubhouse leader, Swede Johan Edfors.
