Harrington: I struggled a bit all day
Padraig Harrington
Ireland's Padraig Harrington carded a closing 72 at the WGC-CA Championship in Miami to claim a share of third place.
Ernie Els captured the second of this season's world championships - and his 63rd professional title - by a commanding four-shot margin after what developed into a straight head to head with his fellow South African Charl Schwartzel.
Three strokes further back were Harrington, German Martin Kaymer and American Matt Kuchar.
Harrington, who fell out of the reckoning with a hat-trick of bogeys from the 13th, said: "I obviously struggled a bit all day.
"Those three holes were pretty simple up and downs and I didn't make them. I was hanging on a knife-edge all day, but I learnt a few things - as you always do in these situations.
"My bunker play was just not with it and my pitching could have been a bit better. You don't really see it until you are under pressure.
"I'm happy - I need to be competing and testing myself."
