BERMUDA -- British Open champion Padraig Harrington fired a three-under-par 67 to take a one-stroke lead over U.S. Open champion Angel Cabrera of Argentina in the first round of the 36-hole PGA Grand Slam at Mid-Ocean in Bermuda.

Harrington leads Angel Cabrera by one stroke after the first round of the PGA Grand Slam.

Harrington hit back from a bogey on the short third with birdies at the fifth, sixth and eighth for a two-under-par outward 32.

Further birdies came on the 11th and 12th, but the Dubliner then bogeyed the 13th and 15th before grabbing his sixth birdie at the 376-yard 16th.

Cabrera, who on Sunday lost to Ernie Els in the final of the HSBC World Match Play at Wentworth, moved onto Harrington's heels with a closing birdie four.

Jim Furyk and Masters champion Zach Johnson, four over after five holes, finished with one-over-par 71s.

First prize is $600,000 and Furyk is playing because US PGA winner Tiger Woods decided not to participate. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend
