Padraig Harrington heads to the final round of the Senior Open with a 5-stroke lead.

BETHLEHEM – Padraig Harrington is one of the youngsters on the PGA Tour Champions, still 50 years old for another two months. And he’s showing everyone at the U.S. Senior Open that he still can hit the ball nearly as long as he did as a PGA Tour player.

The winner of two British Opens and a PGA Championship, Harrington has played the par-5s in 9-under through three rounds. At the 608-yard 12th hole Saturday, he powered a 5-wood from 269 yards to about 10 feet and sank the putt for an eagle 3 to get to 12-under and a 7-shot lead at the time. Harrington extended his streak to 42 holes without a bogey dating back to the eighth hole of Thursday’s opening round before the run ended at the par-4 15th.
