For Harrington, one bogey outshines the birdies to keep him in share of lead at US Open

'You never feel good after you’ve lost a ball, so your head is a little scrambled,' said Harrington, the 2022 champion.

Padraig Harrington said he thought it was one part nice, another part disappointing, to scrounge out a bogey after snapping a tee shot deep into the woods on the 15th hole of his opening round at the US Senior Open.

Either way, that scramble kept Harrington atop the leaderboard, tied with Mark Hensby at 3-under 67 at the Broadmoor, where every shot is an adventure.
