    Such a pity about yesterday's round. Lost him a few places in the rankings. Anyway it's the Honda this week! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    It is fine - he just had a bad day - it happens.

    Rory is having a poor day too.

    It is the general trend you look at in golf when on the up - he is on the up.

    And spiedt and Garcia didn't even make the close or come close....one hole cost him a decent finish but its a long way from where he has been in terms of missing cut after cut....definitely heading in the right direction....

    One disaster on 7, apart from that was pretty solid for the week and gained almost a shot a round on putting stats which is the most encouraging thing. Wind to blow Thurs/ Fri @Honda should suit hopefully.

    Nice PGA piece in the run up to his Honda defence


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    He doesn't bull**** around the truth anyway, a rare one in a sports star these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭ForeRight


    Has he withdrawn from the Honda?

    Just from the Pro-Am.. getting his back worked on apparently.

    Vintage Harrington roller coaster stuff at the moment....flirting with the cut for the rest of the round id say but so far a great comeback to be in that position after a horrible start....


  • Registered Users Posts: 165 ✭✭Deplasterer


    Unreal play from Harrington +6 after 2 and then fires 5 birdies in the next 7! Now flirting with the top 25 but who knows we're he will end up in the next 2 hours, great viewing on the red button all the same.

    And there in lies the problem sometimes, you never know where he'll end up!its savage stuff so far and if he can play solid for the rest of the round and avoid the big figures then he'll be comfortably through to the weekend! Fingers crossed!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    -3 today (E overall), latest birdie at hole 3.

    ed. if shot tracker can be believed, he landed a second shot from fairway to green within 7ft for another birdie chance at 4.

    ed 2.0. sunk it to move to -1!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Harrington is going full nuclear on the course today....that double must have woken something in him.....just ease it home now.....this is epic stuff...I would say if it was last year,that start would have sunk him...further evidence that this is a different paddy to last year...


  • Registered Users Posts: 46 The Hurricane


    Unbelievable stuff the double bogey spurred him on, or else he's lifted it up a notch with Rory looking on either way, hes buzzing hope he has that stare back in this eyes. Go Paddy! +3 - 4 under some man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    That's some round of golf paddy is producing. Tremendous stuff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,387 ✭✭✭Tom.D.BJJ


    Shot gone at 7 (his 16th). Hold it together fella

    Dreadful par putt on the last, still great effort to comfortably make the cut from where he was.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Yes,let's forget about the couple of shots dropped and instead focus on a great achievement to make the cut from where he was...3Rd round will be key here to any hope he has to finish really well...lot of world ranking points up for grabs here...if I remember this is the highest ranking tournament outside of majors and wgc so worth keeping the head and finishing well...


  • Registered Users Posts: 165 ✭✭Deplasterer


    Putting from distance was much better yesterday but still missing too many 5 footers for par. He's dropped 6 shots at 10 and 11 first two rounds also, could have been comfortably inside top 10 without those disasters but to be fair most of the field are struggling at those two beasts of holes. Confident of him moving up leaderboard today as his driving and iron play are good as they have been since Hawaii. Another 68 would be lovely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭Dan Chipowski


    A really scruffy finish to his third round tonight. Three bogeys in his last four and taking himself out of contention for a Top 10/20 finish.

    A really scruffy finish to his third round tonight. Three bogeys in his last four and taking himself out of contention for a Top 10/20 finish.

    Disappointing finish alright...was ticking along nicely until then and with a par 5 to finish...two of the 3 bogeys were missed putts from inside 4 feet which is a killer for the confidence...the only thing with the way the leaderboard is, its so bunched up to the top 20 that if he played really well and picked up a couple of shots on those around him, top 20 is still feasible....its a shame to be talking in terms of top 20 as after 12 holes, top ten was definitely a runner....but hey, 3 cuts across the pond made in a row, been a while since he did that I would guess.....

    +1 round but was -1 for most of it. Double bogey on a par 3 17th. +4 total, still that is 4 rounds of golf in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,378 ✭✭✭HighLine


    Ryan Tubridy visits Padraig's house. I want that simulator!



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,967 ✭✭✭Synode


    Savage house. Where does he live?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,067 ✭✭✭✭Seve OB


    There are a couple of other videos of his gaff, I'll dig them out later on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭Eaglebridie 32


    Nice back 9, makes the cut with a birdie on the last.😊

    Great to see him do that. Hopefully he'll have a great weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,708 ✭✭✭Speak Now

    14 players on + 4 missed the cut thanks to that birdie. McDowell included.

    Doesn't have to worry about a 3rd cut himself now either.

    I was just about to post a similar comment. Great minds and all that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭Dan Chipowski


    Great to see, I think it's fair to say over the past couple of seasons he'd have probably bogeyed 18 and been heading home.

    Hopefully he can push on this weekend.

    Good start today, birdies on 2 and 3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,708 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    17 pars and a birdie in his final round. Long flight to India now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭Dan Chipowski


    A very nice finish going round bogey-free. Solid stuff.

    Very un Padraig like round. Nice to see him putting together such a consistent round.

    Indeed. Only saw the last hole, and was wondering how many scenic route sorties he had:).


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,073 ✭✭✭MarcusP12


    Another good if unspectacular week from Paddy.....good finish considering he had to birdie his last to make the cut and could have been a lot better but for a bad double late in his round on Saturday. lots of positives to take from the weekend so hopefully just a matter of time before this unprecedented (in recent years) run of cuts made translates into a much better week. He's making the cuts which is the main thing as you can't challenge for T10 or even T20 without making the cut in the first place! That was a big problem for him last year. The consistency is there but would you swap a couple of cuts made for a top ten? personally no as I think its only a matter of time before he has a big week. He won last year which compensated for a rake of missed cuts but his game was not great by the end of the year so I think things are moving along nicely so far this year even if he does only have one really good week to show for it....

    what's next?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Up another 5 places to 125 in the rankings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Great stuff, Hero Indian Open next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Really struggling in his second round. On th cut mark at the moment with 5 holes left.
    13 behind the lead

    Have to say that was tough to watch. His lack of decisiveness over EVERY shot is shocking.

    OMG it really is shocking, this could have lasting implications on his career going forward into the future.

    Wouldn't go that far but that degree of uncertainty over everything doesn't suggest someone in top of his game.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,192 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    His chip onto 18 (given the significance) was very poor to see :(

    Yea you'd almost think he was a golfer coming to the end of his competitive career the way he is playing.

    You seem to be trying to make a point through the clumsy use of sarcasm.

    Good start the Valero Texas classic. -2 for the round.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    -3 overall (-1 so far and on the 5th), looks fairly relaxed out there from the shots I have seen.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,028 ✭✭✭gladrags
