Harrington itching to get new season into swing

PÁDRAIG Harrington last night spoke about his plans for the year and the work he still has to do to command a place in the European team.

He spoke on the occasion that one of his chief sponsors, O2 Ireland, announced an even greater level of support for this year’s Ryder Cup at The K-Club.

He is currently halfway through his traditional nine-week end of season break but admits he is now feeling the urge to get back into action, no doubt prompted at how several rivals are making hay while he has his feet up.
