Pádraig Harrington refuses to rule out dual role in 2020

The consensus is Pádraig Harrington would need to be out of his mind to take on the role of host at the Irish Open Championship next July, given that he is set to captain the European Ryder Cup team at Whistling Straits less than three months later.

The possibility of Harrington taking on both roles in 2020 was one of the main topics of conversation in Lahinch this week and few, if any, felt it was a good idea.
