Padraig Harrington kept pouring in birdies as he tried to separate himself from everyone else at the Bridgestone Invitational. He arrived at the 18th green with a three-shot lead, happy with his day.

His closest challenger was Tiger Woods, the world's No. 1 player and close to unbeatable at Firestone.

He was surprised, yeah. he didn't know he was up there, who made four birdies on the back nine for a 3-under-par 67. "Okay, he's in second place. There he is, 7 under par. There you go, three-shot lead.

Is that enough? Probably not. I was trying to put as much room between me and the field. But at the end of the day, there's probably never enough room between you and Tiger.
