Harrington sets sights on adding to Majors tally

Success hasn’t changed Pádraig Harrington as a person but it has transformed him as a player.

There was a time when the Dubliner was a low scoring terror in run-of-the-mill tour events, regularly smashing the 20-under-par mark with a display of attacking golf.

Now 40, Harrington is built for comfort rather than speed and as he entered last night’s final round of the US Open six shots behind pace-setters Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk, he was searching for his old killer instinct with the pitch and putt clubs.
