Harrington joint fifth in Masters

Harrington battled well in the tricky conditions on Sunday

Padraig Harrington finished in a share of fifth place at the Mastes on Sunday after firing a level-par 72 in tough conditions at Augusta.

Harrington's round left him on two under par - six shots behind winner Trevor Immelman.

The Dubliner moved to four under after two early birdies and he did a good job of damage limitation for the remainder of his round.

Immelman, despite a double bogey on 16, finished three clear of Tiger Woods.

Despite another solid performance in another major, Open Champion Harrington said that he wasn't satisfied with his performance.

"It won't go down on my CV - we're all about trying to get out there and win," added the Irishman.

"My short game was poor. I missed some good chances and you can't give them away on a windy day.

"I felt good about my game. I was well in the zone and that's what you want when it comes to major championships.

"You want to be able to get yourself into the right mental state because if you do that you know good things will happen.

"I didn't get the right side of the draw at the start of the week and I'm walking away saying that there's nothing in my golf swing that needs to be worked on.
