Harrington hoping old magic will banish controversy

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON returns to the scene of his greatest triumph today desperately trying to forget the controversy which stopped him celebrating his latest victory.

Harrington partnered Paul McGinley to victory in the World Cup at Kiawah Island in 1997, and is back at the same venue this week to try and repeat the trick.

But the events of last Sunday at the Seve Trophy are still preying on the Irishman's mind following Great Britain and Ireland's victory over Continental Europe.
