Ireland's Padraig Harrington struggled to find his form in the first round of the Malaysian Open, only his second tournament of the season.

The Dubliner kept pace with the frontrunners for most of the day but fell away with a disastrous final three holes.

Harrington fired two bogeys and had to settle for -2, going into the clubhouse three behind Holland's Maarten Lafeber.
