Harrington's running out of time
Prudent Padraig pleased with progression
Padraig Harrington insists he hasn’t gone from zero to hero overnight despite ending his two-year victory wait in Malaysia.
The Dubliner, 39, broke his winless streak when he roared to a wire-to-wire victory in the Iskandar Johor Open on Sunday. But he has no doubts that he is still the same guy who needed a Ryder Cup wildcard and missed the cut in three of the four majors.
Harrington looking ahead with confidence
The Dubliner, 39, confessed he had “the luck of the Irish” as he hit a 69 to cruise to a three-shot victory in the $1.25m Iskandar Johor Open in Malaysia for his first tour triumph since the US PGA nearly 800 days ago.
Now he’s hoping his luck has changed after a horror run and he’s gunning to turn a disappointing season into a bumper year by chasing victory in Shanghai, Singapore and Dubai next month.
