Harrington ready for more Tiger tussles

Padraig Harrington lost his head-to-head struggle with Tiger Woods at Firestone Country Club but promised the world number one: “We’ll do battle many times again.”

Ireland’s three-time major winner was involved in an epic encounter with Woods in the last-day final group at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio last night, first losing a three-shot lead and then coming back to take a one-stroke advantage before a disastrous 16th hole decisively handed Woods his fifth win of the year and the 70th of his PGA Tour career.
