Harrington thrilled with early return

Padraig Harrington feels he has already vindicated his decision to cut short a three-week break and play the WGC-CA Championship at Doral.

Ireland’s reigning Open and US PGA champion will begin today’s second round one stroke behind overnight leaders Retief Goosen, Prayad Marksaeng, Phil Mickelson and Jeev Milka Singh following an opening-day, six-under-par 66.
