PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON last night revealed that he will leave nothing to chance in his all-out bid to lead the European PGA Tour order of merit this year.

Harrington focuses on top spot

Harrington is already in Spain in good time to prepare for this week’s Madrid Open and from there he will travel on to Rome for next week’s Italian Open. Harrington hadn’t originally planned going to Italy but believes any points he might pick up over the next couple of weeks could prove crucial when it comes to leading the way in Europe after the Volvo Masters at Valderrama on November 7-10.

“If I had a long week at the Cisco World Matchplay Championship it would have been a different matter but I was knocked out on Friday and will have every opportunity to get myself into good shape for both Madrid and Rome,” said Harrington, who yesterday signed an agreement with Bord Fáilte to promote Irish golf tourism throughout the world from now until 2006.
