Putting ‘heebie-jeebies’ forced Harrington to talk to Langer

Pádraig Harrington has admitted that wife, Caroline forced him “under threat” to talk to Bernhard Langer about his putting problems.

“I had been putting very badly,” the three-time major winner revealed on Setanta Sports’ iTalkSport yesterday. “So badly, it was very close to the heebie-jeebies on the greens. So my wife actually made me, under threat, talk to Bernhard. He’s the closest in personality to the way I play golf. And he obviously went through his issues.”

Harrington feels that the chat may prove a turning point for him ahead of the remaining three majors this year.
