Pádraig enthralled by Mickelson’s Masters magic

HE MIGHT have been watchingthe action five miles from roarsat Amen Corner but Pádraig Harrington was caught up in the emotion of the Masters like any other golf fan.

“It was very entertaining to watch. I enjoyed it,” Harrington said. “I really didn’t know who would win. I thought KJ Choi had a great chance too, as did Lee Westwood. Things weren’t looking great for Phil after 10 and 11, but once he birdied 12 it was a different story. He played the golf and he deserved to win.”

Harrington is close to both Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood and said he was pulling for both, adding that Mickelson’s incredible final round play was great for the game.
