Harrington Beats Furyk on the 18th Hole
In another crazy finish, Padraig Harrington made a 65 footer for eagle on the 18th hole to beat Jim Furyk at the Barclay’s Classic. Furyk, who was in the lead going into 16th, bogied both the 16th and 17th holes to fall into a tie with Harrington.
On 18, Furyk missed the fairway and was forced to lay up. Harrington hit the fairway and put his second shot onto the front edge of the green. Harrington then stroked a 65 footer, which went over a ridge and went in dead-center.
Furyk, then makes his birdie, but loses to Harrington by one shot.
Harrington’s father was striken with cancer for the 2nd time, and this has to be a great thing for both Padraig and his father.
