Tue 07 Jul 2007Padraig stays put for Open warm upPadraig Harrington's interest in the European Open had finished long before the first thunderstorm rolled in on Sunday. Indeed, you can bet he left a course that simply does not suit his eye, with few regrets. With the British Open just around the corner, his mindset had already moved on to the different demands of links golf, with firm underfoot conditions and its requirements for low ball flight and for crafting shots in the wind.These days, much of what Harrington does is centred around the majors. Unfortunately for him, the Dubliner's missed cut in last month's US Open was his sixth in the last nine majors going back to 2005 US Masters. Still, Harrington perseveres in trying to unlock the door to major championships and, to that end, he is taking a different path to many others bound for Carnoustie.
