Harrington pursues leaders Watson

Former champion Bubba Watson took the halfway lead at the Travelers Championship after overcoming an unsteady start, but Padraig Harrington was hot on the American’s heels in Connecticut.

Watson, who recorded his first career victory at the TPC River Highlands in 2010 and was runner-up last year, started on the back nine in his early-morning start and opened with a bogey before warming to his task thereafter.
