Pádraig to follow hero into trap

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON has held a few trophies aloft during his illustrious career but he will be touching a different kind of golfing history tomorrow on an English links.

The two-time British Open champion will get his hands on the game’s first sand wedge when he officially unveils a new bunker at the Prince’s Golf Club’s famous Himalayas course at Sandwich, Kent.

The sand trap is named in honour of the legendary Gene Sarazen, who won the 1932 British Open on the course with the help of the club he invented especially for the event.
