A Disappointed Padraig Harrington Joins Portugal Masters Low Scorers.
A clearly disappointed Padraig Harrington joined an opening day scoring blitz with a five under par 66 in the 10th anniversary of the Portugal Masters at Vilamoura.

Paul Dunne Not About To Be Left Short-Changed Playing Portugal ‘Credit Card Roulette’.
Paul Dunne is not about to left short-changed playing ‘credit card roulette’ this week as the young Irish pro banks on cementing full 2017 Tour membership at this week’s Portugal Masters.
Dunne first needs to make the cut on the host Oceanico Victoria course and then finish far better than last year’s near-cellar dwelling 64th place if he’s to be playing a full season in the New Year.
He dropped three spots to 102nd on the Race to Dubai in not contesting last week’s British Masters ...

Harrington will tee-up on the ...

The three need to first make the cut in the Euro 3m event and then be inside the top-110 ...
