Padraig Harrington may have used a little luck of the Irish to take the lead at the Transitions Championship.
Harrington fired a course record of 10-under 61 at Innisbrook to lead by three shots over Will Claxton.
Seven players are tied for third at 5 under, including Kenny Perry, Cam Tringale, John Senden, Jason Dufner, William McGirt, Doral winner Justin Rose and Puerto Rico winner George Mcneill.
World No. 2 Luke Donald is at 4-under par. With a win this week, he could become No. 1 in the world again.
