Harrington keen to take sting out of ‘Snake Pit’

If Pádraig Harrington needed any inspiration to end a more than five-year winless drought he could again find it at the ‘Snake Pit’ in this week’s Valspar Championship at Tampa Bay.

Harrington is making his fourth appearance in the Florida event and two years after a career low and Copperhead course record 61 on the opening day of the 2012 event.

It remains Harrington’s lowest score on any of the major tours, and over a course where the last three holes are affectionately known as the ‘Snake Pit’.
