LAST UPDATE | 2 Aug

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON HAS finished in third place at the inaugural Portugal Invitational on the PGA Tour Champions at the The Els Club, Vilamoura.

Harrington, who had a share of the lead entering the final round, finished on 15-under after a final round of two-under 70 which included five birdies and three bogeys.

America’s Zach Johnson emerged as the winner on 19-under after closing out with a 65, while Stewart Cink was two shots back to take second place.

Darren Clarke finished in a share of 13th place on nine-under after carding a four-under 68 in the final round.

Harrington is currently third in the 2026 Charles Schwab Cup Standings and is still seeking his second win of the season after July’s triumph at the US Senior Open.

He was -13 after a round of seven-under 65 on Saturday, leaving him in a tie for the lead alongside Stewart Cink and Rory Sabbatini at that point.

His final round started with a birdie on the first followed by another at the fifth before dropping a shot on the next hole. Harrington added three more birdies on the 12th, 15th and 18th holes but was hampered by further bogeys at 13 and 16.

Meanwhile, Davis Riley is the leader at the Rocket Classic in Detroit on 15-under, one shot clear of Michael Brennan as the final round gets underway.

There is a packed bunch behind them in a tie for third on 12-under – Rasmus Hojgaard, Chris Kirk, Rickie Fowler, and Cameron Young.
