Ronan Flood, and the decade-long caddy to Padraig Harrington resumed his role alongside the triple Major Champion.

Despite still looking a little pale Flood caddied for all 18 holes on day three of the Volvo Champions event here in Durban.

The Dublin caddy collapsed on course a day earlier from the effects of food poisoning and with Harrington finding a replacement in 65-year old Pat Cashman, a visiting Irish golfing photographer and well known to both.

Flood was again met following Harrington’s third round 70 by the doctor who at attended him a day earlier and handed further medicine to take.

“I’m feeling a lot better in terms the sickness seems to be gone and I managed to get a bit of toast into me,” said Flood.

“It was good that Pat was on hand and fair play to him for filling in.”

Harrington capped his round with a first eagle of 2014 when he drilled a 248-yard 5-wood to just three feet at the par five third hole and then rolled in the putt.

However he let slip a birdie from similar distance at the last when around half of the field are walking off with birdie.
