Harrington seeks new start

Padraig Harrington aims to kickstart his season with victory in the Ballantine’s Championship on Jeju Island after a frustrating beginning to the year.

The Open champion’s preparations for 2008 were hampered by a recurring neck injury and a bout of shingles, but he believes the enforced rest will have a long-term benefit and he is eager to emerge victorious at Pinx Golf Club in the European Tour’s inaugural event in South Korea.
