The Irishman now finds himself on even par heading into the final round at Aronimink, which has come under fire for its setup throughout the week.

Among those to have made complaints at the PGA Championship was one of his compatriots, with Shane Lowry believing Aronimink has been set up poorly . Padraig Harrington gives his opinion on Aronimink’s set-up Sharing his verdict on Aronimink after hearing Lowry’s view, Harrington told BBC Sport Northern Ireland : “I would have thought the fans loved it? “Maybe from a player’s perspective that we’re trying to make pars, but the fans love a bit of drama don’t they?

I always think they love when we look very human and expose our frailties. “I would have said that yesterday’s pins were going to be today’s pins, and today’s pins would have been yesterday’s. They definitely were easier today, a lot of bowls today.

“Yesterday’s were the ones that seemed like the toughest of them and would have definitely been Saturday pin positions. Probably too extreme for Sunday. “So yeah, maybe you could have mixed up the days, but over the three days is probably what we expected.
