Padre? We never knew our favourite Irish golfer was a Spanish priest.

Padraig Harrington got off to a superb start in his third round at The Open.

The Dubliner picked up three shots in four holes to gain ground on the overnight leaders.

Unfortunately for the BBC, their subtitles team had a less auspicious time of it.

Fair play to Orla Dempsey for the great spot.

Luckily for the Beeb, veteran commentator Peter Alliss is on his game.
