PADRAIG HARRINGTON HAS slipped back to six shots off the lead heading into the final day of action at The Senior Open in Carnoustie.

Harrington is on two-under for the weekend after shooting a one-over par 73 on Saturday. He went into today’s third round three shots off the lead on the back of a one-under-par 71 and a two-under 70 across his first two rounds.

The Dubliner shot four birdies today but was left to rue five bogeys.

South Korea’s KJ Choi remains the man to catch, sitting one clear of Australia’s Richard Green on eight-under.

Darren Clarke is on one-over after a disappointing two-over 74.

Peter Lawrie is six-over, recovering from a costly six-over 78 on Friday with a much-improved 73, which included three birdies and four bogeys.

Elsewhere, Seamus Power is eight shots off the lead at the 3M Open on the PGA Tour, where Matt Kutcher and Jhonattan Vegas share the lead on 15-under.

The Waterford man was two-under for the day, hitting four birdies and two bogeys.

Leona Maguire is seven-over at the Canadian Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour, shooting five bogeys and a double-bogey on the par-four 18th today, leaving her tied for 67th. 

South Korea’s Haeran Ryu leads the field on nine-under.

    That’s how it should be !! Give everything on pitch , sometimes tempers fray but have mutual respect after the battle

    I’d love to see this happen in a soccer game. The reactions would be hilarious…

    Different game, comparing is pointless. Physicality is the main aspect of rugby, hence how one can be commended for punching another player. Why a footballer should aspire to that is stupid as it flys massively in the face of what the game represents. Obviously football has a huge problem with diving and theatrics but don’t think punching each other in the face is the resolution.

    He wasn’t commended for it, he was sent off and ya while soccer has a problem with theatrical dives a few digs into the side of the head might toughen them up a little!

    Shame that this wasn’t done before after Tuilagi’s hit on Ashton. On Twitter I’d love if he said, “Sorry but you deserved that.” And Ashton would be speechless.

    What a stupid comment ..the game of rugby is tough and physical…ultimately I believe it will perish on that rock as players get ever bigger and bulkier.

    Punching has no place in ANY game …and should not be tolerated .
