Pádraig Harrington eyes Olympic shot

Pádraig Harrington has rekindled his goal of representing Ireland in next year’s Olympic Games after the 43-year old defeated 21-year-old American rival Daniel Berger in a play-off to capture the Honda Classic at Palm Beach Gardens.

After numerous rain delays and near hurricane-like conditions, Harrington emerged the brightest light in ending a seven-year PGA Tour victory drought.

Harrington came from five shots adrift with 11 holes to play and muscle his way to the front with four birdies in succession from the 11th hole.
