It is fine - he just had a bad day - it happens.

Rory is having a poor day too.

It is the general trend you look at in golf when on the up - he is on the up.

And spiedt and Garcia didn't even make the close or come close....one hole cost him a decent finish but its a long way from where he has been in terms of missing cut after cut....definitely heading in the right direction....

Vintage Harrington roller coaster stuff at the moment....flirting with the cut for the rest of the round id say but so far a great comeback to be in that position after a horrible start....

Unreal play from Harrington +6 after 2 and then fires 5 birdies in the next 7! Now flirting with the top 25 but who knows we're he will end up in the next 2 hours, great viewing on the red button all the same.

And there in lies the problem sometimes, you never know where he'll end up!its savage stuff so far and if he can play solid for the rest of the round and avoid the big figures then he'll be comfortably through to the weekend! Fingers crossed!

Harrington is going full nuclear on the course today....that double must have woken something in him.....just ease it home now.....this is epic stuff...I would say if it was last year,that start would have sunk him...further evidence that this is a different paddy to last year...

Putting from distance was much better yesterday but still missing too many 5 footers for par. He's dropped 6 shots at 10 and 11 first two rounds also, could have been comfortably inside top 10 without those disasters but to be fair most of the field are struggling at those two beasts of holes. Confident of him moving up leaderboard today as his driving and iron play are good as they have been since Hawaii. Another 68 would be lovely.

A really scruffy finish to his third round tonight. Three bogeys in his last four and taking himself out of contention for a Top 10/20 finish.

Disappointing finish alright...was ticking along nicely until then and with a par 5 to finish...two of the 3 bogeys were missed putts from inside 4 feet which is a killer for the confidence...the only thing with the way the leaderboard is, its so bunched up to the top 20 that if he played really well and picked up a couple of shots on those around him, top 20 is still feasible....its a shame to be talking in terms of top 20 as after 12 holes, top ten was definitely a runner....but hey, 3 cuts across the pond made in a row, been a while since he did that I would guess.....

Another good if unspectacular week from Paddy.....good finish considering he had to birdie his last to make the cut and could have been a lot better but for a bad double late in his round on Saturday. lots of positives to take from the weekend so hopefully just a matter of time before this unprecedented (in recent years) run of cuts made translates into a much better week. He's making the cuts which is the main thing as you can't challenge for T10 or even T20 without making the cut in the first place! That was a big problem for him last year. The consistency is there but would you swap a couple of cuts made for a top ten? personally no as I think its only a matter of time before he has a big week. He won last year which compensated for a rake of missed cuts but his game was not great by the end of the year so I think things are moving along nicely so far this year even if he does only have one really good week to show for it....

what's next?

He's in the mix,for that we should be greatful.
