Harrington in front

Padraig Harrington holds the halfway lead at the Iskandar Johor Open after firing a five-under-par 67 today.

The Dubliner, part of Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup team earlier this month, is bidding for a first victory in two years and put himself firmly in contention with an eagle, four birdies and just one bogey at the Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club.
