Golf-Masters-Harrington must work on driving, chipping, putting

By Larry Fine

AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 9 (Reuters) - Padraig Harrington, aiming to land his third major in a row, said he needed to work on most facets of his game after shooting a three-under 69 in docile conditions in Thursday's U.S. Masters first round.

The British Open and U.S. PGA Championship winner stood four strokes behind early leader Chad Campbell of the United States.

"I'm going to go and hit a few drives ... a few chips and a few putts," the Irishman told reporters.

"That's what I felt was weak. That's what I felt I needed a little bit of tidying up on."

Harrington had two birdies and a bogey on the front nine, and three birdies and a bogey on the inward half on a day where mild weather, generous pins, forward tees and receptive greens made for a birdie spree.

"It was a day for scoring," he said.
