Harrington wins by two in Indonesia

Jakarta, Indonesia (SportsNetwork.com) – Padraig Harrington carded an even- par 71 in Sunday’s final round, which earned him a 2-shot victory over Thanyakon Khrongpha at the Bank BRI Indonesia Open.

Harrington, a 14-time winner on the European Tour and a three-time major champion, finished the week at 16-under-par 268 on the PIK Course at Damai Indah Golf.

The Ireland native got off to a rough start when he made a bogey at the first before rattling off five straight pars from two. Harrington then made a mess of the par-3 seventh and had to settle for a double-bogey, dropping him to 3- over for the day.

From there it was smooth sailing for Harrington as he rebounded nicely with a birdie on No. 8. Following four straight pars from nine, Harrington made his second gain on No. 13. After a trio of pars, Harrington drained another birdie on 17 and finished up his round with a par at the last to earn a 2-shot win.

Khrongpha shot a 2-under 69 Sunday and he finished alone in second place at 14-under 270. Nathan Holman (69) ended in third at minus-13, while Quincy Quek came in fourth at 12-under 272 after a 5-under 66.
