Harrington beats Maggert in close contest
24/02/2005 - 22:27:24Padraig Harrington added to the European success story Accenture World Matchplay Championship in California today.
The Dubliner beat American Jeff Maggert by one hole, thanks to a birdie on the last green.
He missed a four-footer to three-putt the 17th and was all square, but then played a superb pitch to two feet on the last and made it after Maggert’s 25-footer hung on the lip.
“That was a tough match – never more than one in it and a lot of tension,” said Harrington. “Jeff was not giving away anything.”
