PADRAIG HARRINGTON has pulled out of this week’s PGA Tour St. Jude Classic in Memphis after suffering an elbow injury in a bizarre accident. The Irish three-time Major champion (above) said on Twitter that he had received six stitches in the joint after being struck with a golf club by an amateur taking a practice swing. “I was coaching at an outing,” said Harrington, 45. “Thankfully nothing was broken, just six stitches. I’ll be out for 12 days.”
