Harrington hunting his old ‘spark’

Pádraig Harrington is aiming to rediscover his “spark” this week when he competes in the KLM Open for the first time in 11 years.

A frustrating season has yielded just two top 10 finishes on the European Tour so far, but the three-time Major winner hopes to turn the corner in Zandvoort, Netherlands.

The 42-year-old, whose last European Tour victory came at the 2008 US PGA Championship, believes he is close to his best form, but needs to find a way of resurrecting the on-course intensity for which he became famed.
