Padraig Harrington Couple Quotations

I am somewhat pleased but I now need a couple of those at the weekend.

Eventually he didn't finish off the match, really, and then I got a couple of breaks. It was more or less up to Vijay. I just hold on in there and really I really struggled with my shots today, worse than yesterday. I don't know what it's going to be like tomorrow.

The wind made the last couple of holes pretty tough. If there is no wind when I play tomorrow morning hopefully I can post a bit of a score.

It's like starting off a new season. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.

I made a couple of mistakes on the last couple of holes but overall I was pretty happy with the way I played. If anything, maybe I was a little bit over-confident,

I missed a couple of birdie chances on the last few holes which would have made it a good round. But it's not the end of the world.

I know I've been inconsistent this year. Obviously, there's many reasons for that. But if I finish strong the next couple of months, it will be easy for me in my own mind to convince myself that it was a good year.

The first couple of rounds are very important for me because I am a bit rusty. If I do struggle a bit it is going to be tough. The key is to not necessarily make a quick start, but not to make a slow start.
