ST. LOUIS — Padraig Harrington bogeyed the final hole Saturday for a 5-under 66, leaving him just a stroke ahead of Steve Stricker and Bernhard Langer with a round to go in the Ascension Charity Classic.
Harrington, the three-time major winner and most recent European Ryder Cup captain, was at 11-under 131 at Norwood Hills. The Irishman has two victories and four runner-up finishes in his first full PGA Tour Champions season.
Harrington rebounded from a bogey on the par-4 14th with three-straight birdies, then lost another stroke on the par-4 18th.
Stricker, coming off a win two weeks ago in Michigan, shot a 65.
