Mickelson now No 3, Harrington No 4

Open champion Padraig Harrington has slipped one place in the world rankings to No 4 after his second missed cut of the 2009 season on the US PGA Tour.
The Dubliner is replaced at No 3 by Phil Mickelson, winner on Sunday of the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles.
Harrington will visit the influential sports psychologist Bob Rotella in an attempt to regain his focus before Wednesday’s start to the WGC Accenture Match-play Championship.
