Padraig Harrington.....2015 Honda Classic Champion

vienne86

Disappointing level par round on the last day. Pity, as things were looking promising.

Was checking out the money list for 2016 and noticed that most of the players on the list have 4 to 6 events played so far (Harrington has 3) but I only recall 2 events in 2016. Are there events in 2015 that are included in 2016 but not in 2015? Seems strange and a little difficult to follow. Padraig has collected a nice payheck already with nearly a quarter of a million dollars in the bank...

Yes - it's called the wrap around season - basically starts straight after the tour championship has finished

stevensi

Thanks for that. A little difficult to follow but at least he's off to a decent start for the year...

Can't help but notice the hurl and the sliotar on the floor as well

Poor putting week from Pod last time out. Should suit his game at Pebble. Noticed he plays a lot of practice rounds with Ricky Barnes, around same age must be mates.

Himself and Ricky both use Wilson Staff, I'd say that's the connection.

Ricky is a good bit younger (maybe 10+ years or so). Possibly their friendship comes from when he came to Ireland and Scotland many years ago and to play in a few invites on the European tour including the K-Club European Open and I think it was Baltray for Irish Open. He was supposed to be the next great thing and there was a lot of hype about him. Had a good caddy lined up for the 3 events and maybe more. It turned out he was just over on the piss and his caddy didn't even bother travelling to Scotland with him as I recall. The caddy has since done pretty well for himself but we don't see much of Ricky any more.

Got it to 3 under and now will be teeing off shortly in Pebble Beach....featured group on Sky red button.

Tied for 9th, looking forward to an interesting weekend

Dan Chipowski

What a horrible way to finish, three putting from absolutely nowhere after 2 fine shots on the Par 5 18th.

Should have been in a much better position going into the weekend.

vienne86

Just 1 under for the round. Disappointing bogey to finish.

FixdePitchmark

Padraig going well on back nine now -7 (T17)

When he goes well - he is normally about 1/2 the leading score (leader -13 after 11) - this normally gets you on the edge of top ten but not challenging.

Jaysus - Bill Murray is a head wrecker.
Awful swing

sword1

Out early so I would expect him to fall back the rankings later, if he could have been - 3 yesterday he would be well up there, still good to be where he is

Ruu

No harm with a birdie at 9th hole. -9 overall. (T9 at the moment)

abff

Finished with a fine 67 - 6 birdies and only 1 dropped shot. Tied 11th with only a couple of players still to finish. Must be playing pretty well tee to green as his stats for the round show -1.256 shots for putting. No shot tracker info on today's course.

Ruu

P is off out. Bogey on the 1st but got one back on the second to remain at -9.

Dan Chipowski

Another sloppy bogey and making a total mess of the par 3 now. Out of contention already. Shame.

vienne86

Shane and Padraig both +2 so far today. Disappointing.

Ruu

Having a bit of a meltdown, three bogeys in a row.

vienne86

Five bogies and two birdies in the first 9 :eek:

Ruu

Front 9 killed him today, finished on -7 in a tie for 21st.

Ruu

Well moved up to 126th in the world, better than down I suppose. Next up playing in Northern Trust Open this week, not sure who else is in the field.

One of the best fields so far I'd say. Rory playing for the first time at riviera. Speith is in the field and Adam Scott is back for his first tournament of 2016 I think. Add in casey, bubba, Sergio, schwartzel as well

Can we get off this page number before he tees off??
