Golf: Dufner seizes lead as Harrington fades

PALM HARBOUR: Jason Dufner seized a two-shot lead at the US PGA Tour’s Transitions Championship as overnight leader Padraig Harrington failed to find the dazzling form he displayed earlier in the tournament. Harrington, who opened the tournament with a course-record 61, settled for a two-over par 73 to fall two shots behind Dufner, who carded a second successive 66 and has yet to make a bogey on the par-71 Copperhead Course at Innisbrook. “It was a pretty stress-free round,” said Dufner.
