Harrington’s Late Charge: More Than Just a T-something
- His T18 was his best major finish in five years. Five years! That’s a long damn time in golf.
- He’s now one of only three players over 54 to snag a top 20 at the PGA. Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen? Yeah, they’re in that club too. Snead, by the way, was pulling off T4s at 60. Insane.
- If you ditch that opening round 74, Harrington played the last 54 holes at five under par. Only two guys beat him on that stretch: Ludvig Aberg and Aaron Rai. That’s some serious golf.

World Ranking Jumps: The Supporting Cast Shine
- Club pro Ben Kern made the cut. Finished 80th. Went from unranked to 1781. That’s something.
- Harrington’s T18? That rocketed him from 894 to 502. Nice little climb.
- Martin Kaymer, T35. Jumped from 1160 to 720. Solid.
- Ryder Cup hero Luke Donald made the cut, finished T70. Moved from 1300 to 1081.
- And Cam Smith’s T7? That took him from 239 to 145. Big mover.
