Padraig Harrington will take a four-stroke lead into tomorrow's final round of the Irish PGA Championship, the event he has won the last two years immediately before capturing The Open.
Harrington's two-over-par 73 at the European Club in Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, today dropped him to two under, but closest overnight challenger Leslie Walker suffered the recurrence of a wrist injury and was forced to retire after nine holes.
Now it is England's Simon Thornton who is in second place.
