Harrington to tease back?
Padraig Harrington was teased by a pal after visits to water cost him the Bridgestone and the US PGA.
His close friend sent him the signature cello music from Jaws and hid a ball retriever in his golf bag to lighten the mood after a pair of eights cost him dear in Akron and Minneapolis.
Now the roles have been reversed after Harrington's friend was cut after just three rounds in the first stage of the European Tour Qualifying School.
No doubt Harrington will have some warm words of advice for a player who has so far failed to translate his obvious talent from the amateur game to the paid ranks.
