Padraig Harrington showed his superiority in yet another tournament, playing a brilliant third round with five birdies and one bogey for a total of 65 shots, finishing the day 13 shots under par. 

While Harrington has impressed the public with his qualities for the umpteenth time, it seems that he is a bit scared by the bad feeling on the golf course. 

The experienced golfer hopes to keep the lead and finish the final day in style.

“I don’t feel very good about how I’m hitting the ball,” he said, as quoted by Golf Today.

“So trying to get away from that and not worry so much about that because clearly I’m scoring well.

Better off shooting 13-under par and not feeling so good about it than thinking you’re swinging it great and being level par.”

The 53-year-old is motivated to do great things at this tournament, aware that a serious task awaits him. The Irish golfer last celebrated at the US Senior Open last month, and it seems that he is currently the most dominant figure on the senior Tour. 

The Irish golfer hopes to win this tournament and join legends like Gary Player, Tom Watson, Darren Clark and Bob Charles, who won both the Open Championship and the ISPS HANDA Senior Open.

During his career, Padraig has shown that he is a golfer who really belongs at the very top, but many are amazed by his dedication and desire, as he is in his serious years, when many play this sport recreationally. 

Justin Leonard

Justin Leonard is a golfer breathing down his neck, taking second place with a score of 11 under par. 

Leonard is motivated to win this tournament, and such a victory would go down in the sport's history.

“To be in contention is something I shoot for every week, and I think we all do,” said Leonard. 

“To do it in a major championship then is another thing, and then to do it at the Senior Open here at Sunningdale, it’s been a special three days.”
