Padraig Harrington and Paul McGinley placed third in the World Cup of Golf at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the weekend. The duo, which won this event in 1997 at Kiawah Island, S.C., finished behind the U.S. pair of Tiger Woods and Mark O’Meara, and Spain’s Santiago Luna and Miguel Angel Martin.
Harrington finished at 276 (71-68-70-67), while McGinley shot 278 (70-71-69-68). Their scores added up to 554, which was nine strokes more than Woods and O’Meara, and four more than Luna and Martin.
