Playing with more self-belief the key for Lawrie to make impact

Pádraig Harrington insists Peter Lawrie must have more self-belief as he prepares to make his US Open debut at a punishing Olympic Club.

The triple Major winner is deeply impressed by his former amateur pal but also knows Lawrie faces a baptism of fire when he makes his first appearance in a US Major tomorrow.

“Peter is playing lovely golf, he just needs to believe in himself more. The problem Peter has is that it’s his first US Open,” said Harrington after accompanying Lawrie in his first practice round this week.
