Padraig Harrington managed to bring a shot back on the overnight leader Stephen Alker in Arizona at the Phoenix Country Club.
However, it made little difference as Alker held off advances from Canadian Steven Ames and South African Ernie Els to finish on top.Dublin native Harrington is believed to have scooped a whopping $200,000 from the tournament, ranking fourth on the highest-paid list. Kiwi Alker pocketed $500,000 and still didn’t make the most with Steve Stricker earning $ 1 million despite not competing due to his father being admitted to hospital.Harrington was reported to have brought his yearly earnings to $ 1.8 million at the TimberTech Championship, a weekend before, which would bring his earnings up to $ 2 million with his takings from this weekend.
