Pádraig buries bad memory

PADRAIG HARRINGTON returns to the Cisco World Match Play championship tomorrow glad to have removed from his mind the hideous thought he was left with a year ago.

From three up with 12 holes to play in the final against Ian Woosnam, the Dubliner lost two and one and was ''really, really, really devastated''.

What Harrington feared was that he had choked. That after going round in a record-equalling 61 in the morning he had crumbled under the pressure as he suffered his seventh runners-up finish of the season.
