Putter failing Harrington

As bleak as it looks after five successive missed cuts Padraig Harrington is not ready yet to rule out completing a hat-trick of Open titles in 15 days' time. "I have another week," said the Dubliner after a second round 75 that included a triple bogey eight on the 14th put him out of the French Open by four shots on Friday night. As he did before his back-to-back victories at Carnoustie and Birkdale Harrington plays in the Irish PGA Championship this week hoping that four rounds on a links course can pay rich dividends in Scotland. Last year he injured a wrist practising on an impact bag at home four days ahead of The Open and overcame that to win by four. This time, though, it is a crisis of confidence as much as anything - and while the attention the last few months has been on his swing changes now he has putting worries as well.
