Golf-Injury could force Harrington out for first time
VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 20 (Reuters) - Padraig Harrington may be forced to pull out of a tournament through injury for the first time in his 20-year professional career after sustaining a problem to his left shoulder while working out in the gym.
The triple major champion withdrew from Wednesday's BMW PGA Championship pro-am and is hoping 24 hours of treatment and rest will help him recover in time for the first round at Wentworth on Thursday.
"Working on the principle I've never pulled out of an event injured I believe I'll make it tomorrow," Harrington told a news conference at the European Tour's flagship event.
