For the ninth time this year, Padraig Harrington will be paired with Tiger Woods, and the Irishman is looking forward to playing alongside the circus that follows Tiger everywhere he goes on the golf course.
Padraig Harrington Ecstatic to be Paired with Tiger
“I like a busier golf course,” he said. “I like more people around. I like a bit of motion and noise. There’s an ambient noise when you are out there. So no, there’s no distraction, not at all. It’s harder when there’s one person standing there on his own than when there’s 10,000 people. I think it’s easier.”
“You know, if there was a brass brand playing behind the tee box, it wouldn’t put you off,’’ he said. “But if there was one guy standing there on his own, nobody else out on a really quiet day, you could hear him from 100 yards away if he was talking to himself.
“You’d be amazed, where there’s a lot going on you see nothing. When there’s very little going on, you see a lot. You get into it. There’s a bit of adrenaline with it and definitely I’ve always found it easier to play in a noisy environment than a quite one.”
