'Surely to eagle the last is definitely the icing on the cake for a good day.'
After draining a lengthy eagle putt from off the 18th green at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, Harrington received a thunderous applause and cheers from the gallery surrounding the par-5, 585-yard finishing hole on the opening day of the 2022 Shaw Charity Classic.
“Surely to eagle the last is definitely the icing on the cake for a good day,” said Harrington, who carded Friday’s low round of 6-under 64 to take the lead at the three-day PGA Tour Champions event.“You know, that’s why I’m out there on the Champions Tour. I go play the regular Tour and I’m middle of the field — just doesn’t cut it. There’s no buzz with that when there’s 25 people watching you.
“You make a couple of birdies on a tough day early on, you’ve got something in the bank,” said Harrington, who won his first PGA Tour Champions title on June 26 at the U.S. Senior Open in Bethlehem, Pa. “If something goes wrong, you’re still in it, so a quick start, a good start was very important.”Triplett started his first round of the three-day, 54-hole event on the back nine and rolled in a birdie and an eagle on his first two holes.
