McDowell enjoying new found fame

THERE’S no way Graeme McDowell says he will ever find himself getting sick and tired of penning his autograph to 2010 US Open 18th hole commemorative flags.

McDowell confessed he has signed nearly a hundred of the special flags including a half-a-dozen his caddy, Ken Comboy asked him to sign following a first round 71 in the Barclays Scottish Open.

Comboy lined up the flags on a table within the makeshift locker room at Loch Lomond and it reminded McDowell of a remark passed to him on Monday at Adare Manor by triple-Major winning Pádraig Harrington.
