Long time since he won , but a 2 shot victory in Jakarta must be welcome . And he was a 25/1 shot in a distinctly average field , Still a win is a win , hopefully that will put an inch on his step . Well done .

Didn't see any reference to Padraigs chances , wildman . Looked fleetingly at that tournament , but not attracted to it because there is no turnover so trading is not possible . Did think Padraig was overpriced against a load of players who would have been lucky to be carrying his bag when he was winning Majors . Great to see him winning one , no matter where it is , winning is a habit , nothing succeeds like success . Hope he is starting upwards from his current 85th world ranking position .

I'm delighted he won too,the mans an out an out gentleman.
I didnt think it possible for him to win any tournament no matter what the field. I didnt think it possible for him to protect a lead. One punter thought he could and backed him at 30/1. I thought Harrington had fallen miles down the rankings didnt think he was anywhere near 85th. |

...Started off with Lee Westwood in the Nedbank... Stenson is playing the best around at the moment imo and deservedly fav, Speith on the back of a win last time and holder of course record gets my other pick. Mention to Pod also in a terrible field in Indonesia. At 20/1+ chancing he can get at least another win, if he isn't competitive in the line up,never again a bob on him. Lee Westwood win, ew dbs Stenson/Spieth and another small ew trixie with Harrington. pa lapsy Report • Quote • Block User pa lapsy • December 3, 2014 7:26 PM GMT Bit of 30's on the exchange to small Huddy's, as you know he could just play terrible and the field won't matter but he won't ever get a weaker tournament, only stuck him in to the trixie to try for a big pot (treb about 2500/1). |

And you know him fairly well Dan do you?.....out and out gentleman no less......
That's not what everyone thinks by the way..... |

My knowledge would be all third hand but watching the way he comports himself in general would tend to back the anecdotal evidence.

Well I know somebody with first hand knowledge of the man.....but don't let that detract from the high stool action this evening.....

You couldn't bet the odds on that you would,just like you couldn't bet the odds on that it would be negative.

My understanding is that he was 385th in the world rankings

Apparently there was a good interview with Padraig ref Paul Kimmage , one of my sons was telling me about it this morning . Some of it concerning Padraigs GAA efforts . Padraigs father was a very good player , saw him playing way back . Padraig played football before his golfing interest kicked in , and I always think it is a good idea to be involved with team sports , rounds the character a bit .

Might have misheard that , Arkle . Heard it on the current coverage of the Tiger tournament on at moment . Did not look it up , but 385 is about where no one wants to be !

Nice to see Padraig winning in the land of many islands, a lot of people got very frustrated with Padraig game over the last few years including me; so you can Imagine how he felt. welldone Padraig

Last time I ventured any money on Padraig was for the Open this year , cant remember the odds , but didn't cut any ice . Just a fun bet . Anyway good to see that 1 in his form figures , horses aren't the only ones who appreciate that accolade .

padraig was a handy full-back Kelly, read about him in Dessie Farrell's book. Kenny Cunningham played with dessie for the Dub minors too.
Harrington's dad was a corkman, lost the 57 all-ireland to Louth. |
