Harrington was the runaway winner in Limerick
|
Padraig Harrington gave home fans something to cheer about when he claimed the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am in Ireland by six shots.
The Dubliner warmed up for next week's Open, posting 14 under par at the Adare Manor course near Limerick.
South African Tim Clark was the nearest challenger on eight under, with England's Luke Donald a shot behind.
But the main attraction, Masters champion Tiger Woods, posted three under after hitting two early bogeys.
Woods won the contest the last time it was staged in 2000.
Proceeds from the £700,000 event will go to various charities in Ireland.
