Padraig Harrington played in six successive Ryder Cups from 1999 and was on the winning team on four occasions.

Three-time Major champion Padraig Harrington reckons Indian golf is growing and is going from strength to strength.

The presence of so many top-100 players at the Hero India Open will also mean more World Ranking points, which are essential for players to qualify for the Rio Olympics.

Padraig Harrington was 16-under through 13 holes before play was called off at the Damai Indah Golf in north Jakarta. He will return on Sunday morning alongside 44 other players to complete the round.
