Irish Open: Harrington back on familiar ground

Pádraig Harrington will aim to crank up the aggression as he attacks today’s second round of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open after putting himself in position for his first European Tour win since the 2008 Open Championship.

Irish Open: Harrington back on familiar ground

The three-time major winner, back in tournament-winning shape after victories at the 2014 Indonesian Open and the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic in March, last tasted success on European soil nearly seven years ago at Royal Birkdale.

Yet, Harrington knows how to win tournaments and he will bid for the second Irish Open title of his career by trying to take out as many of his rivals as possible over the next two rounds at Royal County Down following an impressive four-under-par 67 on the opening day.
