BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Padraig Harrington
We have a fantastic line-up this week and I'm thrilled that Padraig Harrington is joining us tomorrow night. He's had such a big year so I'm looking forward to catching up with him.
said Ryan Tubridy
It still hasn't sunk in. I played very good but I think I was very fortunate; the golfing gods were on my side. I think those two guys - Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els - hit some good putts on the last hole and I was fortunate enough to win and I'll take it.

That kind of ensures that you don't have a Padraig Harrington missing the Tour Championship

There have been years where it was a very close call ... There was a year when Paul Casey and Padraig Harrington were on the sort of same lists, and you've had guys balancing the Order of Merit with major championships. And so, they want to have one which is theirs. We will bring that in at the beginning of this coming season.

Quotes from articles mentioning Padraig Harrington
No, that he was comfortable with it; that this was the natural progression. He died a slow death, six months, and if you are going to die a slow death, you had better have faith. He had faith. I can’t remember a day when he didn’t go to Mass, but he was paid back. He put so much effort into his religion and the payback was how comfortable he was. That was the lesson; there is a payback for effort.

He wrote out all of the instructions. The biggest thing he ever taught me was when he died. He was very religious and part of that religion was his blind faith when he died.

The greatest part of my relationship with my dad was that I never had to do anything in golfing terms to make him proud of me. The things that made him proud were not throwing a club, not losing your temper, and to keep trying. He never lived his life through me and I’ve never felt under any pressure to fulfil his dreams.

Exactly. They were all writing that story, but I wasn’t going to be drawn into it and for 71½ holes I gave him no quarter whatsoever until we walked down 18 and he congratulated me. I said, ‘Greg, I’d love if this was your week, but I couldn’t get caught up in that’. And I genuinely meant that. He was brilliant to play with.

So you woke up on the last day and thought, ‘This is not going to be about Greg Norman?’
was said
in Times Online
Yeah, that’s what worried me about Birkdale; I looked at Greg and everybody was sympathetic to his story. It was going to be ‘The great swan song of Greg Norman’. And it would have been great, but not when I was there. I’d spent a strong part of my last 20 years trying to find that killer instinct. I’d got better. I’d moved on.
