Up and down round for Harrington return to action

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington was understandably rusty on his return to action for the first time since the death of his father at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Hamburg today.

Ireland’s Padraig Harrington was understandably rusty on his return to action for the first time since the death of his father at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Hamburg today.

Harrington, who withdrew from the British Open, was four under after nine holes but came home in 38 for a two under 70.

“It was going well for a good while but I just hit a few poor, slack shots,” the Dubliner said.

“On the par five third I laid up into the water and on the last hit a poor wedge with the wind swirling.

“I didn’t really settle on the shot and I suppose I lost three shots on those two holes. I’ll go and hit a few shots and hopefully it will get better.”
