According to the ESPN write up for the Ryder Cup preliminaries…
In the discussion about whether Padraig will play to his Ryder cup record or to his potential elsewhere the ESPN website mentions a little known fact…
“Two years and three major titles ago, Harrington helped the European side to a victory in his native Ireland. He punctuated the win by crowd-surfing through the adoring gallery before losing a shoe. (True story — he told us.)” ESPN continues “Lost amid the post-tourney celebration wasn’t just footwear, though; it was also the memory of Harrington posting a record of 0-4-1 for the week. In the time since, he has claimed two British Opens and a PGA Championship, proving his mettle as a steely eyed competitor when the pressure is on.”
According to badgolfer.com “If he could, he’d putt in tournaments without his left shoe. Really.”
How do these two snippets relate?!
