KAPALUA, Hawaii — Padraig Harrington describes 2015 with words like "grind" and "tough." It was not what he would refer to as a great year, and it doesn't sound like someone who is part of the most elite PGA Tour event of the year at Kapalua.
This is the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, not the Tournament of Consistency.
"It goes down as a winning year," Harrington said. "But it was hard work every week. Hard, hard work."
His lone victory wasn't easy. Harrington appeared to have the Honda Classic won until he hit a flare with a 5-iron into the water on the par-3 17th and made double bogey.
