Harrington tips Rory for the top

FOR the first time in a while, Pádraig Harrington doesn’t mind not being the centre of pre-tournament attention.

The triple Major winner has come to Dubai for the season-ending Dubai World Championship with the media focus on Rory McIlroy, who attempts to become the second youngest golfer to be crowned European number one.

McIlroy enters the event leading Lee Westwood by €128,173 and in pole position to claim the stunning new-look Vardon Trophy.
