Harrington looks to put mind over matter at Pebble Beach

The first appearance by Tiger Woods in America this year has inevitably dominated the build-up to the AT&T National pro-am at Pebble Beach this week.

But the importance of Pádraig Harrington’s first appearance there since last September should not be overlooked.

Ireland’s three-time Major winner almost certainly has to win on Sunday to book himself a place in the first world championship of the season.
