just thought I might start this thread as often when searching for something in another thread it turns into a running commentary on why ph is loved or hated Just thought all the bashing and hugging might be kept here

Shocking start by Padraig this afternoon. Double bogey at the first followed by bogey at the second.

awful stuff from harry... two 3 putts in a row.. one from 33 feet and one from 26 feet.. also missed a 5 footer for birdie on 4th.
Yet another meltdown... i really wish he would stop coming out after tournaments and making statements about how good a shape his game is in. Its getting embarrassing at this stage.
I'll still be full of hope for him when he tee's it up next week but making a cut seems like a victory these days

I guess if he turns it around he should break 80.

That is depressing.

Well to break 80 now he'll need to pick up a birdie in the last three holes. I had high hopes for him this week, but today has been a meltdown.

He's still in the horrors. I think his brain is fried at this point.

It's very disappointing. I just hope every time I see him play that this is it - four consistent rounds, and even though he keeps telling us that his game is in good shape, his head doesn't seem to be in the right place.

Harrington used to die putts into the hole. How is he hitting them 7 feet passed from 4 feet ? Needs to get back to the philosophy of letting the ball drop in, instead of trying to hammer it in which he must be doing now

Irish Golf Desk suggested on twitter that Harrington was trying out a new fat putter grip this week. It was unconfirmed however so might not be true.

Ach was really looking forward to watching tonight. I always look forward to another tournament as I genuinely believe things are going to come good for him this week......beginning to lose the faith though.

Just saw the grip... looks like one of the big SuperStroke grips alright. They also showed a picture of his broken hotel window from last week... apparently practicing with some device in his room!

Four over for the par fives, you can't contend playing them that badly

Finishes with a bogey on the par 5 18th. Shoots a 76, 4 over. Oh dear. Well for starters, the putter experiment needs to be abandoned.

That's a great read. How things might have been different if other things remained the same.
