Harrington and Mahan group have been great both have played some lovely golf today. Get in there Paddy - 4 for the round he is in the mix for tomorrow. I got him @ 90/1 come in the top 6 places and I will be happy.
if he can get back to the mentality he had when winning majors then yeah, he's got a chance. My only worry would be I think he's still a bit fragile and will have memories of being in contention after his major wins only to plough in the water in close battles, and there's plenty of water around Augusta.
If he finishes top 10 to top 15 that's huge progress for him, he's almost out of the top 100 so he really needed a good week.
Joe nothing wrong with his mentality at all. He has always beleived in his ability. The rankings he takes with a pinch of salt. Hes a part time player for the last 2 to 3 years or more. No wonder his rankings has dropped. He gets his game to the peak for the majors as always and if hes in contention in the final round he will go for the more risky shot than not. Sometimes they go into the water others they get on the green.
If Harrington was to play more regular he would get back into the top 40 golfers out there. He has a young family and he wants to be around them as they grow up so you can see why his rankings has fell by not playing regular enough. Also since he split with Bob Torrence his new coach set up has seen him come back to some form. I dont think he has missed a cut this year compare that to last year and you can see he is getting better the swing seems right he has the game to win another major.
