Paddy Harrington

[mcfc_nick]

shoots a 67 today and just about confirms to me that his swing change is complete and he is back to the form which saw him win 3 major titles and i am expecting him to add to that number next year! nice to see one of my favourite players returning to his best form!

I love paddy too, but the one shot i saw him hit today was a chunked wedge approach shot... i don't know if he's actually all the way back, he seems to still hit some surprisingly bad shots.

Not a big Paddy fan, but he was cool when I followed him on Tuesday. He hit some good shots during the practice round.

In terms of professionalism he is possibly unsurpassed. Its pretty incredible for Harrington to be a multiple major winner with a chance for a lot more. To go from being second place sally, to major winner, to multiple major winner, to back to back open champion and he didnt have an easy time of it with family issues to contend with.

His performances in recent weeks indicate he is back and got knows what he will be capable of.

McIlroy could be a multiple major winner too. Good times for Irish golf.

Saw him working on his putting after his round today. Looks to be doing much better now.

Paddy seems to me like a good guy for golf. He seems like a real gentleman. Not to mention, he's got a lot of game.

I like paddy he plays a gentlemen sport like the way it is suppose to be.

[mcfc_nick]

nice round today again, makes 5 birdies in last 7 holes and closes at -4, seems to be getting into contention every time he plays now

Being Irish, I follow Padraig all the time, and I thought he'd blown it when he went after a new swing. It's great to see him back in the groove - regardless of the two recent disasters. I'd like to see him learn some patience though. Before he won his first major he was in a great position in the British Open and then again in the US Open, and decided he had to make birdies - he blew it as a result. Exactly the same happened at the par three in the USPGA - he feels he has to make a move.

Consider his much acclaimed 2nd shot at the 17th in the final round of the British Open last year. A huge shot to three feet for an eagle... and the Claret Jug was his. It was a brilliant shot, but it hopped a bunker and it wasn't necessary to be so aggressive. Patience, Paddy, patience

I'd love to see him win 2 or 3 more majors. Prolly my favorite player these days and its good to see him getting back on form.

its a bummer he didnt win today. i was hoping there would be a play off being els, tiger, and paddy. better luck next time paddy

I was mildly disappointed with Paddy's year. Though working in his swing change, he had 3 top ten finishes, however, I was hoping for more. I put Paddy right up there with Tiger and Phil. When Tiger changed his swing during his "bad" year in 2004, he had 13 top ten finishes and 1 win. I have Paddy winning one of the upcoming Fedex tourneys. Either way, his swing change is seemingly done. Hopefully, Paddy keeps up his momentum in Europe after the Fedex series is done.

Another amazing thing about the ultra-driven guys like Paddy and Tiger is that they will change their swings to improve - even after years like Paddy had in '08 and Tiger in '01, '02, and '03!

[iWALK18]

everybody hits surprisingly bad shots.

He still makes a habit of it more than a top tour pro does.

Is he improving from the beginning of the year... absolutely...

[ptodd]

Padraig wins a major next year. He will be the first of the Tiger chasers to get past the three major mark.

Being Irish as well, it's great to see Paddy back playing well again. He's a great ambassador for Ireland and golf. If only he'd stop tinkering so much with his swing!

[alomar123]

Pad is my favorite golfer. I really enjoyed his episode on Playing Lesson with the Pros. He is really down to earth and can swing like happy gilmore.lol

once again in the hunt this week
