Whoa, okay, so here’s how it is. Picture this: Padraig Harrington, right? He hits up social media like it’s his personal confession booth. Love it or hate it, he just spills it out there.
Round one? Let’s dive in. Dude shoots a 73. Not the worst, not the best. But in his own words, “6 back in tied 36th.” The weather’s all “blustery” and stuff, and he’s like “played very poorly.” But hey, squeezed out every drop till the last bogeys hit him. Ugh, those last three holes got him.
Next day, boom, round two: A 72. It’s like, okay, steady but still “a bit of a struggle,” as Mr. H would say. Timing’s all off — he blames it on being too quick. Yeah, we all know that feeling. Rushed, scatterbrained. Happens, you know?
Now, here’s where it gets juicy. Round three has got its quirks. Padraig’s big on the socials again, just chatting away. Makes you wonder why he shares his ups and downs, right? Maybe there’s some lesson or something buried in all this over-sharing? Who knows.
Firestone Country Club, Akron, Ohio. They’ve got this rule going, lift, clean, place. But on Saturday? Nope, forget it. But Harrington, he doesn’t get the memo on the 17th. Picks up his ball. Oops. Slammed with a penalty — classic mix-up in golf land. So he nails another 72, which is okay-ish, but he’s like “7 over, tied 53rd.” Missed hits, yes. But hey, hit it better on the range later. Always a silver lining, right?
I don’t know why, but there’s a whole list of pros who’ve messed this up too. Lydia Ko, Adam Schenk, Anthony Quayle. They’ve all had their “oops” moments.
And that’s Harrington for you. Brutally honest, kinda messy, but you gotta appreciate that human touch, y’know?
