THERE WERE THIRD place finishes for Pádraig Harrington and John Murphy on the Champions Tour and Challenge Tour respectively today.
Harrington finished the Shaw Charity Classic in a five-way tie for third, one shot off winner Jerry Kelly of USA.
Kelly overcame compatriot John Huston in a play-off to triumph on nine-under.
Harrington shot a 66 today, to add to his previous 64 and 72. He led by one after Friday’s opening round.
Today, the Dubliner had six birdies — on the fourth, sixth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 15th — and back-to-back bogeys on the 12th and 13th, and dropped one place down the leaderboard, as Kelly moved one up to win.
