Yes - one poor shot (his second) has cost him. Amazing as he had played very sensibly up to this.

Harrington was 5/1 after 10 holes. I have a modest bet on him at that price!! Could go anyway

I know someone has him at 100/1, can't believe I haven't a piece of it!

Oops, looks like I jinxed that one!

That shot was terrible on 16, you would be laughing at your own playing partners if they played a shot that bad at the local pitch and putt course. Those choke comments are really going to get to him as he sits in his 5 star hotel room waiting to defend the USPGA championship next week.

What did he finish on in the end, i couldn't watch after that eagle...

Tiger's approach to the 16th using an 8 iron with 182 yards to go, little by way of green to work with was as good a shot as I have seen played on a golf course. 4 shot turnaround. Felt sorry for Harrington when he chipped into the water after that. But you just have to stand back and admire the Tiger.

Must be the Dublin mentality.

One awful hole after a really solid round from Harrington. His back 9 on Saturday was immense, to go 3 clear after Tiger had pulled level. And then on Sunday to go ahead after being 2 behind showed real character. But the 16th was a disaster - a real pity and an anti-climatic end - would have been great to see them go down the 17th all square.
