Big celebrations planned to honour Harrington

PÁDRAIG Harrington might have to start clearing his diary, with local authorities and golf clubs queuing up to hail his historic British Open Championship win.

On a day of tributes, the 35-year-old was probably unaware of the deluge of invites pouring in, but he soon will be.

His native Dublin is a likely starting point, with various local politicos anxious to get the ball rolling.
