Harrington has laser eye surgery

Padraig Harrington literally has both eyes on a top finish to the season.

The Dubliner had laser surgery on his eyes in London last week and no longer needs to wear contact lenses.

Harrington said: "I needed to wear contact lenses on the golf course and I was struggling with them, especially if the pollen count was high.

"My wife had to carry a mirror around for me if I needed to take them out and the whole procedure took about 20 minutes."

After a month-long lay-off, Harrington hopes to play in eight more tournaments before the end of the season.
