Harrington Finds Form

Padraig Harrington hit a bogey-free round of 64 in the first round of the World Golf Championships in Ohio to lead by 2 shots. He leads Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng, American Scott Verplank and South African Tim Clark by 2 shots.

But Paul Casey, world number 3, was forced to pull out after six holes with a rib injury, which occurred before The Open.

Ian Poulter is a further shot behind, along with Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker. Six players are 4 shots behind Harrington, including Tiger woods, Sergio Garcia and Miguel Angel Jimenez.
