Pádraig admits he’s his own worst enemy

UNLIKE the majority of his contemporaries, Pádraig Harrington’s main rival is neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson or Ernie Els or even young Rory McIlory but still himself.

Harrington will tee up on a rain-saturated Horizon Hills course looking to quash those inner demons and correct a slide down the rankings plus qualify for next month’s season-ending Dubai World Championship.

The Dubliner dropped four places to 83rd on the world rankings after missing the cut in last week’s Barclays Singapore Open, while he also slipped two spots to 76th in the Race to Dubai.
