Harrington takes 36-hole lead at Honda Classic in Florida

(AP) — Padraig Harrington felt like a three-time major champion long enough to take the lead after 36 holes of the Honda Classic. Harrington hit the ball where he was looking, capitalized on his putting and stretched his lead to three shots until ending with a pair of bogeys in the rain-delayed second round Saturday morning. Ian Poulter matched the low round of the week at PGA National with a 64 and was two shots back, along with Brendan Steele, who had a wild ride. Steele didn't make a par until the 10th hole — he opened with six birdies and three bogeys — and then made nothing but pars on the back nine except for a double bogey on the 16th. McIlroy bogeyed three of his last four holes on Friday for a 74 and missed the cut by three shots. Phil Mickelson, who had missed two straight cuts on the West Coast swing, finished up at 67 on Saturday and was five shots behind. [...] on the par-5 third hole, the easiest at PGA National in the second round, he hooked his drive so badly to the left that he had to pitch out to the second fairway, couldn't reach the green and made bogey.
