Padraig Harrington.....2015 Honda Classic Champion

abff

Disappointing to see him finish with two short missed putts, but overall a much better round than yesterday. Hopefully, next week will be steadier.

Considering his schedule going in to the masters a weekend off will do no harm.

Good point...to his credit I think he's honouring his sponsor invites so maybe it's a blessing in disguise...

Not sure if that link works, but basically a Happy St. Pats day message letting us know that a win would see Paddy rise to 34th (Shane to 18th)

Link wouldn't work for me, but I like the sound of this!

Nice interview with Caroline Harrington on John Murray show on RTE radion 1 this morning......said he never gives up, and that this last win was a real life changer for him.

Yep.
Tees off at 12.56 local time which is just before five over here I think

REBELSAFC

Started off with 5 straight pars.

abff

Just 3 putted the 16th (his 7th) after being on the green in two. Missed birdie putt of under 4 feet.

me89

Nice birdie on 18

dball

another bird on the first - Go ahnn Paddy

Pierce_1991

Birdie at the par 5 4th puts him in a tie for 13th. Going along very nicely today.

irishash

He is loving the big putts these days. Drained an 18 footer on the 4th for another birdie. 3 under and two off the lead.

Barnaboy

-3 now and only 2 off the lead, confidence is obviously back!

Ruu

Good par from the bunker there.

FixdePitchmark

Great stuff. Jaysus - that is a lot of water.

Great shot - and a more aggresive line.

Will be interesing to see line - of biggest hitters on that hole.

Could Rory knock it straight over the water to the green? How far is it?

FixdePitchmark

Back to a few weeks ago.

Now this IS the time you go for a par 5 - from that far out. Aim at bunker right.

Was 1/2 thinking that - but wouldn't say so - a wedge out maybe ?

lorenzo87

Luck of the Irish right there!

LuckyGent88

Nice bounce!!!

WHIP IT!

I'd bet a thousand euro Padraig gets up and down at 6 after bouncing back into play from the rocks

I'm trying to see Podge's line which is equal to 311 yards and measure it from tee to green. Just based on that picture I think if McIlroy got everything out of it he might do it but probably would never risk it.

Dayor Knight

Hit a rock and got away with it!

FixdePitchmark

Was looking and trying to work out - why remaining holes are so hard.

The distances of the par 4s is a bit sick.

460 - 474 yard par 4 holes :eek:

How do these lads do it - not to mention - fair play Padraig.

irishash

Up and down off the rocks. Go on padraig. -4 now.

FixdePitchmark

OK we can't say he is back anymore.

We need new songs.

looks like he is moving away from -3 ,,

3 under is boring.

FixdePitchmark

Jaysus - that wasn't great - wouldn't mind an easy enough hole as holes coming.

Anyway - no panic lads - the new mantra for Padraig thread,

"No Panic"

72 holes in a PGA event.

well sometimes ,74 after much much PANIC
