It's not just golf. You'd be surprised how many people at Irish football matches do it the wrong way. Boxing too...I'm sure there's probably more.

Poossbily interesting bit of trivia.

Cork played Louth in the football championship yesterday for the first time in 50 years. Padraig's late Dad Paddy played for Cork in that 1957 All Ireland final.

Congratulations to Padraig on a great win.

I believe this may move him into the top Worlds Top 6, definitely 7th anyway.

Superb photo
On the TV, the camera was behind Harrington when their paths crossed, it looked like Sergio was laughing his head off with Harrington's head in a dark cloud.

Fantasic day for Irish golf - he has been in contension so many times and to finally see him achieve what i never thought id see is fantastic. First Irish major winner in 60 years!

Fair play to him.

is he a professional who practises every day?

great to see an irish double, hopefully des smyth can make it a treble by winning the seniors open(he leads by one after day two). Iv been watching mcilroy at the west of ireland for a few years now and its clear that if he keeps his head screwed on he will be destined for gret things. hes the most talented amateur since ronan rafferty. Hes 13/2 with paddypower to win a major before 2015.twas a great up and down for harrington the 1st time that he played it. garcia blew it really. cant believe he hasnt played with a belly putter more in his career. it just shows that if garcia could putt he would definitely have more than one. I was suprised tiger never really got in the mix, i really fancied him to win it.
