Padraig Harrington just one off lead as he goes for two-in-a-row on Champions Tour


Padraig Harrington is just one shot off the lead going into the final round of the Ally Challenge as he seeks his second win in two weeks.

The Dubliner, 50, shot a second round 66 to sit just one off the 11-under-par lead being set by Scott Dunlap at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club.

Harrington will be out in the final group alongside Dunlap and Steve Stricker who captained America to beat Harrington's Europeans in the last Ryder Cup.
