Harrington to brave Wentworth

Pádraig Harrington will almost certainly be back at Wentworth for the Volvo PGA championship next May.

The Dubliner has stayed away from the European Tour's flagship event the past two seasons, explaining his decision by pointing to his record. Seven appearances and not a single top-10 finish.

"It's back on my schedule as of now," said Harrington.

"It's my own personal battle and I'm looking forward to trying my hand at it again.

"I do struggle on the greens at that time of year and I find it a very frustrating golf course. Last time I shot four over par for the first two days and Anders Hansen shot 19 under.

"Shooting 72 is great out there at that time of year and every year it's 19 under par wins. It scares me."
