Made a charge Harrington with birdies at one and three and then this birdie at the par 46 yeah really nice strike with putter back here at seven being careful down the slope oh leaks it in the Ed very nice so Harrington goes out in

31 and then at the par 410th this is the big one he made right here but 35 40 ft up the hill at 10 15 four Eagles today at 15 and look for this one to be the full go and it was and it was absolutely torched perfect

T-shot up the right hand side and works out very nice cannot miss this left anything wide right would be okay trying to hold something up against the wind this on a really nice line actually went the other way according to our shot Tracer tried to work it right

To left in there and needed more Club cookie the new venue in Tucson at 4500 sare ft interesting and Woodlands I I would dare say The Woodlands greens have have maybe encroached a little bit over the years good read good pun padri Carrington less than driver at the par

416th playing down win so three-wood is plenty of Club here here for padrick just 433 yds but not going to play that this should land on a down slope it does and really chases forward nicely good t- shot there by Harrington now Harrington second at 16 from the left side of the Fairway

Just taking dead aim at this flag and good shot there by Harrington got to putt with a little bit of movement to it there going set it outside the right edge of that hole but a ball or so and that’s really well read well done that looked easy nice leaderboard Harrington taking

Dead aim 158 yards like a nineiron way up in the air just left of the flag good shot this for his third birdie in a row at 17 up the slope moving left to right did he hit it yes he did wow that had that was really rolling nicely just rolled out

Beautifully well this is interesting you try and hit a Big Slice with a short iron it’s hard to make that happen he’s got the wind going to be helping him from left to right he got on a just left to the green pretty good shot back in

The Stance Drive it in the low just like that got got away from him a little bit Yeah plus the wind carried it get it on last with enough Pace outside the right yes really good putt there that was not an easy putt no it wasn’t and he hit it where he was

Looking that that was really well done launched way up in the air over the middle of those bunkers it’s 300 to carry them what bunkers no problem puts it way up in the air on a nice line maybe a little left of the flag okay we have we have identified

Harrington’s problem he’s driving it too close to the green if anything cookie may be left Center here maybe left Center just have to keep speed up yep no problem so Harrington records the fourth eagle of the day at 15 that gives him the yardage he’s looking at

Anything between the front edge and the flag is where you’d like to carry it he’s got pitching wedge out on a nice line if it’s the right one just a little right of the flag I think that’s yeah that’s acceptable yeah and the build out behind the T sometimes you hitting four

And five iron in there nice putt there for padri making a little run to the house that gives him a share of the lead at 11 under and he’s got the reachable par five 18th Straight Ahead was way short and low and running yeah especially that Kya it doesn’t bounce up

Hills in k going left might catch that bunker back in the bunker that’s not that’s not a horrible Miss no he’s got plenty green to work with it’s going to be on the up slope so that is a very simple doable bunker shot this will run

Out kind of undercut that nice let it run out got it underneath the hole pretty well done and post 12 under gets it in there six time winner on the PGA tour Champions Harrington playing his second into seven good t- shot nice look here and plays a quality Iron shot in here to

Seven got a tricky Little P but he’d managed to get that down right in the center of the green let it run back there and that was really well played shot aggressive shot nice second I think we’re looking at fireworks all the way down the stretch going to be a great

Finish now Harrington’s t- shot at the 12 and with driver 300 yd past the right bunker front left tole location went out to the left now Harrington second at 12 from only 80 yards front left hole location see if he can pinpoint a wedge shot right over top of the flag slightly deep

But pretty good shot shot yeah that was a real good shot especially considering some of the wedges he hit yesterday that was a big Improvement pretty simple look here for Padre on the left Edge oh yeah he hit it on the left Edge and it

If it moved it moved maybe a quarter of an inch back to the right I think the pace was perfect nothing in his way not much staying on the ground with that one no that got so high up in the air I lost it but it was hit hard as it was going

By my head well it’s way down there and it’s in the Fairway so talking about holding something so he hadit a good one in here yesterday it’s on a great line this one’s out here to the right a little bit but pretty well struck shot and good shot there too yeah I mean

Menth might make eagland not gain any ground the way this is looking right now like he started it Center to left Center and never had it had to be a right Edge putt at least he never had it over there he did kind of wound himself there

Didn’t he so he TAPS in for [Applause] birdie got a way up in the air also left of the flag that’s good shot that’s kind of the target range I was expecting from J that’s that’s good play there by Harrington it’s more about pacing it does go

Downhill three days in a row Harrington with a birdie at 17 that is some bounce back right there by padrick Harrington that’s a gutsy gutsy birdie and he’s in a share of the lead at 13 under move into a share of the lead Harrington’s t- shot at 18 yeah he’s

Going to give this a full treatment right here aiming up the right hand side but this is well out to the right boy they didn’t even come close to staying in he kind of got to wonder if that one at 16 maybe didn’t have a little hold

Over there John didn’t look like a fivewood sitting down [Applause] there he gave it the full treatment it’s left and in the bunker that’s a pretty doable up and down especially if it got up to the up slope going to by that’s surprising I thought he would do a little better than

That that is not what he had in mind at all looking for a seventh win on the PGA tour Champions Harington for birdie and victory oh it didn’t go in the middle but it went in and that’s all he needed padrick Harrington with a birdie at the

18th has won the hog classic Newport Beach he used it all but this for birdie at 18 and the win Left Edge and unlike Windam Clark last week at the players that one stayed in yeah that one turned left right across the hole but the left Edge caught in as a

Great catch by the hole oo look at this thing oh all the round good play think he thought he missed it and then a fist pump for the win for Harrington tell me about this finish with the the birdie there at 15 little hiccup there at 16 but 17 and 18 tell me

About the birdie here at 18 you know throughout my career the two the best thing I do is when my backs to the wall so you know when I when I have to do something I’m do my best and I’m I’m absolute worst when I get an easy shot

So like I stood in the t-shot there and like it was just there was no trouble on it it was the easiest t-shot in the world and very similar to how I hit off the I know a different situation in 2007 I just when I’m overconfident I’m I’m

Not I’m not great I’m I’m I’m much better when when when I’m in trouble that’s just my personality so I wish it was different H sometimes it’s nice to win easy but I knew you know even after 16 I knew I was playing well I knew I

Was hitting the ball well that I I could finish strong yeah it was just you know the odds swing here and there but uh like I said the seventh win on this tour you’re looking more and more comfortable your kind of mindset for the rest of the

Year yeah look I I I thought I played really well today I I hit drove a great all day kept leaving myself downhill puts and and you know I I lost a bit of you know when you’re not holding puts you know and and it wasn’t that I was

Hitting bad puts but I just wasn’t holding puts so it was tough I was the lighted there in the last hole it was Z foot uphill I said so thankfully because they’re they really were tricky in the wind so that that really you know it was

A tough day for me with that sense that I was dribbling my puts they weren’t going in uh you know I feel like I’m playing good uh clearly you know when I when I’m hitting the ball well I I just you know I it allows me more time to go

Home and practice on my wedge play cuz I get a lot of wedges as you will see it’s never easy with all the wedges but you know that’s for me the focus especially out here is just being really good with my wedges H you know I know I I know I’m

Going to be in around it and if I’m if I’m tight with my wedges say and it depends on the golf courses like this this couldn’t be a better this is a perfect golf course for me you could see I could open My Shoulders hit my driver

Most of the time H so it gave me a big Advantage this week especially in the wind today A lot of times I’m hitting from you know 40 yards closer which is is a big difference I took a few more aggressive lines off the tea today for

That very reason the likes of H nine because it’s a lot easier when you get when you start getting inside 100 yards you can kind of ignore the wind when you get to like 150 yards it’s all sorts of him cuz the ball spins up that’s how I

Hit it in the water on number four I tried to cut it I just spun up got a gust and all of a sudden I’m making double bogey we appreciate your time congratulations it was a battle to the finish and uh we appreciate your time and your support on the PGA tour

Champions I love it out here it really it’s a great opportunity to relive past glories to hit great like I know I messed up my t-shot there but to come home hold the putt you feel like a hero when you do it it’s it’s like what you

We when you were a young lad so it it this Champion tour is brilliant for that it gives us all a another chance appreciate your time congratulations thank you
