The sentiment of Pádraig Harrington should serve as much of a warning to the remainder of the Abu Dhabi Championship field as the golf produced by the Irishman while en route to a third round of 64. Harrington, a three-times major winner, believes his game has never been in better shape.
Success for Harrington would turn heads. And no wonder; at 51, he would become the oldest winner in DP World, once European, Tour history. Harrington will begin round four sitting two from the 54-hole lead, held by Shane Lowry, Min Woo Lee and a resurgent Francesco Molinari at 13 under par. There will be little stress attached to Harrington’s fourth-round buildup. He is loving life in this environment.
