    Paddy has his Honda Classic diary up on FB. Thought the following quote was fairy typical of the man and I must say, I was one of the doubters who thought he should concentrate his efforts on lesser tours but, as he says, that wouldn't be him.
    It has been tough at times but the last couple of months, with my two wins, have made it worthwhile. I never doubted myself, I know a lot of people did and many asked me why I would do things differently, but then that wouldn’t be me. Just like I couldn’t make winning here easy, it’s always the hard way for me. I don’t feel any different now that I have won, as I always felt that the win was around the corner.

    Another very good and humorous interview with Paddy on Matt Cooper.
    He was thinking about doing the happy Gilmore drive on 18 (72nd hole)

    He used to practice that a lot. Do you think he'll use it some day? 2 shots down on the last day of the open on the 18th.

    Well he said he would have done it on the 18th on Monday if the wind hadn't have been up. He says he gets extra distance, and makes a better swing doing it, so it was something he considered and may have done if he thought he could get there in 2.

    This was on the Wednesday in practice I think, they have a long drive contest on the 10th hole. I really hope he doesn't do it in competition, he could look a right eejit if it went wrong.

    The thoughts of him on the 18th on day 4 within a shot of the lead doing a happy Gilmore drive has me proper laughing here.

    Imagine it all over the news the next day!!!!!!!


    How can anyone not love that man. Doesn't give a flying fiddlers what anyone thinks.

    If I ever get to meet him in person I'm going to just give him a big hug and tell him never to change anything he does. He is perfect and I love him. I wish he was my dad.
    I love my dad obviously but if I hadn't got him I'd pick Padraig as a replacement.
    I'd pick scarlet johanson as my mam.

    Sorry for the tangents there.


    Some comedy gold in this thread looking over the last few pages.
    Someone actually said that looking at Padraig on Monday with his pal they talked about how his swing was the same as it was in 08!!!!!

    Thanks for the giggle!

    Harrington is going to be on the Late, Late Show tonight. Should be interesting. Even Tubridy can't mess this up!

    Well the only thing with Padraig - there will be no pause for Ryan to move in when not needed.

    Padraig - is a dream interview. Just let him talk.

    A little funny bit of research.

    Seve is right - you can't go that wrong.

    I'm as confident of this, as - Padraig is over a 4 footer. :P:D

    Ive never seen the current late late show presenter do a good interview with a sports star. Padraig will make it interesting himself but it'll be no thanks to your man.

    Funny enough - he did interview Padraig - maybe twice over last 3 years.

    One interview was interesting - well it was more Padraig admitted some stuff he hadn't before.

    A few posts have been deleted as they have nothing to do with golf. Keep this thread on topic. Thanks.

    Could have been longer - but Ryan did well enough.

    Oh come on! Did Rory's actions leave you that scarred? I think I have see him lose it twice on a golf course.

    Anyway... it's great seeing Padraig in such good spirits... and his excitement for The Masters is almost like it's his first time again!
