Harrington, NBC's Maltbie caught in tiff at U.S. Senior Open

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A video of Padraig Harrington arguing with NBC on-course reporter Roger Maltbie for not helping him look for a lost ball during his opening round is generating buzz at the U.S. Senior Open.

"Never on a golf course stand and look at somebody looking for a golf ball," Harrington is seen telling Maltbie on video captured by a local TV reporter outside the scoring area. "You've played golf all your life. You understand."

The argument stemmed from Thursday's round, when Harrington teed off into a thicket of trees on the 15th hole.
