Padraig Harrington produced a moment of magic from the trees during the second round of the Turkish Airlines Open

Padraig Harrington produced a moment of magic to make one of the recoveries of the season during the second round of the Turkish Airlines Open.

Heading into Friday one shot off the pace after an opening-round 65, Harrington opened with a par at the first before getting into trouble at the par-three next.

Harrington sprayed his tee shot at the 216-yard hole way left of the green to leave him in a seemingly impossible position next to a tree.

With minimal space to swing his club and having to lean heavily against the tree, Harrington - a sponsor's invite - miraculously pitched out to three feet and rolled in the putt for an unlikely par.
