For the moment, exam schedules are the main deciding factor for which of Pádraig Harrington's sons, Ciarán and Paddy, gets to play with him at the PNC Championship. The tournament sees major winners and Players Championship winners team up with a family member for a 36-hole scramble. 

Harrington is playing the tournament for the ninth time this year, and for the fifth time with Paddy. They finished the first round one shot off the leaders.
