HUMBLE, Texas – Sitting just three shots off the lead after Saturday’s third round of the Houston Open, Scott Harrington had a decision to make; so he called his wife, Jennifer, who was back home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
“We just kind of decided that she was going to stay home,” Harrington said.
A day later, Harrington again rang his wife, though this time he was standing on the range at the Golf Club of Houston, waiting to see if his 13-under score would be enough for at least a playoff.
It wasn’t.
Moments earlier, Harrington missed a 17-foot birdie putt at the last that would’ve gotten him to 14 under.
