In Hong Kong Open, Graeme McDowell scored 4 sub-69 rounds, carding 67, 66, 68, 68.
When 4 rounds of consistent form are not good-enough, then it must be difficult to stomach, admitting “I am a little bit frustrated but it is a great way to finish the year ”
He hads given himself something to play for next year - as he is closing in on a European Ryder Cup spot.

Graeme has had 10 top-20 finishes this year.

Graeme in fact ended behind 5 others, and 4 shots off the leader.

Miguel Angel Jiminez with 65, 67, 66, 67 took the title .

01 Jimenez -16

06 McDowell -11

= 20th McGrane -7

= 26th Murphy -6

= 50th McGinley +1

In Japan, Padraig Harrington had a tie for the lead with 2 days of play left. His third round was his downfall, declaring “‘I ran out of a little bit of steam, got a little bit frustrated yesterday, (Saturday).”  he hit a 73 in his 3rd round which left him 6 strokes off the pace.

Harrington was never a factor in the final round at Phoenix Country Club, after starting the day six shots off the pace, but he shot a respectable 69 in tough, windy conditions to tie for fifth, six strokes behind winner Ian Poulter.

Japan Day 1:
Irish athletes got off to the best possible start at the World championships in Osaka overnight. Roisin McGettigan ran a confident race in the first heat of the women’s 3,000m steeplechase. She went into the lead from the gun and was in complete control, leading through 1,000m in 3:11.54, 2,000m in 6:22.81 before eventually finishing fourth in 9:39.41 and an automatic qualifying spot in the final on Monday.

Fionnuala Britton was in heat three and the European silver medallist in the under 23 cross country championships had a much tougher assignment. However, she battled all the way and finished seventh in 9:42.38, just one second outside her PB, and good enough to go forward as a fastest loser.

Interesting to note that competitors had to clear five barriers on each lap - including the first.

A very positive start for the Irish team.

Sunday 25th Aug:
The men`s 20k walk saw Irish champion and record holder Robert Heffernan put in the performance of his life to finish a brilliant sixth. Right from the gun he placed himself perfectly and was never too far off the medal positions.

Back in June of this year, Ireland competed in the Surdinam Cup -in Group 5, topped their group 5B defeating Norway, Sri Lanka, and Peru. And in the division 5 decider went to 3 sets in each of their 4 matches against Lithuania, losing eventually 3-1.

Ireland did take 33rd place inthe World ranking at the time, and with the progress of ireland’s Mens Singles, Women’s singles and Women’s doubles in their strive for the world Olympic places, Irish badminton is is much better shape than it was 4 years ago.

What now of little Madeleine McCann?  

Is the little girl still alive somewhere and all the current distraction taking from finding her?
Or has she died - did she die that evening - are her parents involved in her death, and a huge cover-up- or is it a huge set-up ? Is there Portuguese police pressure to find some resolution to this - are Gerry and Kate an easy obvious target? Is there evidence planted? or is this something much more sinister - is it a horror story to think that Maddie’s parents are involved in orchestrating her dissappearance - and utimate death?
So many questions - no answers - no little Madeleine.
In Ireland, The Robert Holohan case with communities and a whole nation out looking for a little boy who had vanished - to find a story much closer to home of his death at the hands of a neighbour ‘friend’, and a disposal of his body in a bogland … are there similarities to be drawn here? Time will tell - or will we ever really know?
