| USPGA PROFILE |
|
| Harrington heads to Southern Hills still riding the crest of a wave following his Open Championship victory at Carnoustie last month - rarely can there have been a more popular or well-received winner than the 35-year-old from Dublin. Having won the Order of Merit last year, Harrington seems to have raised his game to the next level with that dramatic play-off triumph at the Open the culmination. He is still prone to the odd lapse (the 72nd at Carnoustie and poor finish at Oakmont in 2006 being two particularly high-profile examples) but his putting, scrambling and fiercely competitive nature mean he is always in with a chance of victory. His challenge now is to go on and win more tournaments and, more importantly, majors. Tied for 30th at Southern Hills back in 2001 but he is a vastly improved player now and right at home amongst the most exalted of company. Will be interesting to see if he's introduced as 'Padraig Harrington - Open champion' on the first tee at Southern Hills having admitted his disappointment at being presented as 'Ireland's Padraig Harrington' at last week's WGC Bridgestone International. |
