Sunday, starting out tied for the lead, Harrington made birdies on four of his first eight holes, nearly acing the par-3 second hole, and then played smartly from there, never giving up the lead though several players tried to apply pressure on him. Yang shot 65 despite making double bogey at the par-4 16th; Yang was busily making birdies; Caron went in front for a spell early in the round; and Stewart Cink made an early run with four front-nine birdies. One by one, the challengers fell back. Harrington knew he needed to win to have any sort of chance in the Schwab finale, and to pull it off the way he did gave him great satisfaction. Harrington’s first half of the year was not to his liking, as he was slowed, and lacked strength, after a bout with pneumonia.
