Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:33:43 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Padraig Harrington was in perfect position in the 16th fairway, with a great chance to set the 54-hole scoring record for a comfortable lead at the Senior PGA Championship on Saturday.Then the 51-year-old Irishman had to go to the bathroom.Paddy found the port-a-potty, had trouble with the door, rushed to his next shot and ended up in a native area that led to a double-bogey.“As we are on the Champions tour, I had the longest pee ever,” Harrington said. “And then I kind of rushed down the fairway and hit my shot. I just wasn’t focused, I wasn’t into it and I hit a bad shot in the hazard. That’s my excuse.

Steve Stricker, the hottest PGA Tour Champions player by far and leader of the U.S. rout over Harrington’s crew at Whistling Straits, is one shot back after matching Harrington...
