Pádraig finds his missing links

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON believes a return to links golf in the Scottish Highlands this week will provide the ideal preparation for his bid to capture a third British Open in five years later this month.

Fresh from a visit to the men’s singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, the Dubliner returns to action in the Barclays Scottish Open over the new Castle Stuart links.

Harrington is confident that the course, located between Nairn and Inverness, will be the perfect location to finalise his plans for Sandwich.
