Good man Paddy Harrington !!! Shoved a tenner each way on him friday @ 25-1.

Second time he's came up for me at those odds. Think i owe that man a pint if i ever meet him.

I stayed up last night to watch that. The run in with Harrington and Garcia trading blows was the best final round I've watched in ages. I couldn't believe it when Garcia hit the flag on 15. The 17th was fantastic too. Harrington sent a beauty to within 8 feet of the pin then Garcia matched it. I was gutted for Garcia when he went into the water on 16. He was literally 6 inches short of a world class shot.
Had mixed feelings about who I wanted to win it. Harrington obviously as he is the more local player of the two but as he has already won the open this year it would have been nice to see Garcia get something too.
I cannot remember the stat exactly but I think he was the first european to win it for about 60 odd years.

I know I mentioned it after the Open, but I've got Padraigs' irons from 2003. Cheering him on in every major now. :tricolour:

Didn't get to bed till after two and as a result very cranky at work today! Worth waiting up to see his third shot to the 18th alone though. Incredible shot under pressure. Id love to see him go toe to toe with Tiger in the last round of a major in the form he's in now. That would be some spectacle.

By the way anyone got any ideas on the best way to take a sneaky siesta at work?
