Pádraig looking for a lift at Whistling Straits

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON has declared himself ready to do some heavy lifting ahead of this week’s US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

This week marks the two-year anniversary of Harrington’s stunning Oakland Hills triumph that assured Ireland’s greatest golfer a third Major Championship in six starts. But it’s been 24 months since Harrington has been snapped holding any Tour trophy and he’s determined to correct that this week in teeing-up along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

“It seems long enough since I won the Wanamaker Trophy that I need to go back and do it again,” he said after carding a final round 66 in Akron on Sunday.
