Harrington hungry for more Majors

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON has set his sights on winning more Majors in the wake of his compatriots’ recent successes at Pebble Beach, Congressional and Sandwich.

The three-time Major winner has been credited with sparking the latest surge in European Tour dominance of the Major championships.

Indeed, his back-to-back British Open victories in 2007 and 2008 as well as the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills that followed his second Claret Jug were cited by European Tour chief executive George O’Grady and 2010 PGA champion Martin Kaymer as having laid the foundations for consecutive Major wins in the last six by Tour members.
