Jet saves hours and adds years to Pádraig’s career

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON crashed spectacularly in his bid to help his spluttering season reach take-off speed in the WGC Cadillac Championship in Miami.

But while he claimed that the triple bogey seven he racked up on the third hole in the final round at Doral’s Blue Monster did not hurt one bit, he’s definitely flying high when it comes to the management of his affairs.

Unsurprisingly, given the state of the Irish economy and the general hardship currently facing thousands of Irish workers and millions around the globe, the three-time major champion is reluctant to speak publicly about his purchase of a private jet late last year.
