Harrington slide continues at Turnberry

Defending champion Padraig Harrington failed to find the flying start he was looking for in the early stages of today’s third round of the Open Championship at Turnberry.

Harrington, seeking to emulate Peter Thomson’s Open hat-trick of 1954-56, made the cut by a single shot, lying eight shots off the pace on three over par following rounds of 69 and 74.
