Padraig Harrington's bid to bridge an eight-year gap between PGA Tour victories is not done yet after the Dubliner fired a faultless four-under 68 in the third round of the Valero Texas Open. 

The 51-year-old who has spent much of the past year playing on the Champions Tour finds himself in a tie for sixth on seven-under overall, five shots behind leader Patrick Rodgers, the American holding a one-shot advantage over Canadian Corey Connors ahead of Sunday's final round.
