Open champion Padraig Harrington, five clear at one point, lost out in a a play-off with US Open champion Angel Cabrera at the four-man 36-hole PGA Grand Slam at Mid-Ocean in Bermuda today

Harrington, one in front after his opening 67 and with one hole to play, birdied the par-five 18th for a 69, but was good enough only for a tie with Cabrera who eagled the final hole.

The Dubliner was subsequently beaten on the third play-off hole, Cabrera's birdie good enough to seal the win.

Jim Furyk, deputising for US PGA champion Jim Furyk, was third and Masters winner Zach Johnson fourth.

Harrington held a five-stroke lead when he resumed with a birdie three against Cabrera's triple bogey seven.

But the Dubliner saw that disappear when he double-bogeyed the ninth and Cabrera started for home birdie-eagle to catch him on three under par.

Cabrera then bogeyed the 12th and 16th, but birdied the short 17th to pull back to one behind with Harrington having bogeyed the 13th and birdied the next.

Harrington was the first European to qualify for the event since Paul Lawrie and Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999.
