CAN HARRINGTON HOLD THE TIGER BACK ?

Padraig Harrington returned a 67 in the 3rd round of the BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL event to reach 10 under par.While he was enjoying the applause from the crowd,he took his first look at the leaderboard and got a shock to see the name of Tiger Woods on 7 under par.
"I didn't know he was up there"said Padraig to his caddy.It was a shock for Padraig as he had birdied 4 of the last 6 holes and thought he had pulled well away from the pack,but Woods already a winner of the BRIDGESTONE 6 times made 4 birdies of his own over the last 6 holes,returning a 65 to close the gap to 3.
Harrington showed the world his golfing skills,especially over the front nine.He played hooked,low shots under trees,cut shots under trees,fantastic chips and putts for pars and then on the back nine when he started to find the fairways he only needed 11 putts from 30 feet in to return a 67 and leave himself with a 3 shot cushion for the final round.
Tiger on the other hand was hitting some fantastic iron shots,leaving himself short birdie putts which he didn't miss.
It is going to be a fantastic day for golf fans as they watch two of the best shot makers and short game experts do battle,over the FIRESTONE course.
CAN HARRINGTON HOLD ON ?
Padraig & Tiger have to be careful that they don't forget about the rest of the world class field.Jerry Kelly is only 2 shots behind Tiger on -5 and on -4 is a group of 10 players that includes Masters champion,Angel Cabrera,Lucas Glover,US OPEN Champ and recent OPEN CHAMPION,Stewart Cink.
