Padraig

Taken from an interview:

Q. What's with the beard growing?

PADRAIG HARRINGTON: I genuinely forgot my razor. I got up Wednesday morning to shave for the Pro-Am and I realized I only brought the blades and not the razor. It was late Wednesday, late yesterday. I needed a razor. Of course now I'm doing good -- basically I -- the minute it gets itchy, I shave.
 
it is appropriate that Padraig is in out of bounds section. He really makes the game of golf difficult for himself.

Also another moan regarding pronunciation of his name. The D is SILENT.

Some golf by big Phil all the same.
 
Also another moan regarding pronunciation of his name. The D is SILENT.

Incorrect, he has stated himself that he adopts the sounding of the D in his name.

You are right that certain areas of Ireland don't sound the D though.

Kellfire is on the ball here lads,
Different ares pronounce it differently....in the northern counties it would be pronounced "Pawric" or "Pawraig"

The "D" is usually pronounced lower down the country...Its irish for Patrick.

Its those muppets in the states commentating that drive me mad calling him "Paaadrig"..
When will they learn that we sound nothing like there American actors try to portray :mad:
 
I hate the fact that no one is capable of pronouncing McDowell.

It isn't McD-owl. It's Mc-Dole.

That's how we pronounce it in Northern Ireland so that's how everyone should be pronouncing it when it's his name. ARGH.
 
Yes but he doesn't live in Ulster and like Padraig has chosen to answer to alternative pronunciations, which are no dafter than his accent. :D ;)
 
He probably just got sick and tired of the idiot Yanks getting it wrong so gave up... just like I no longer always bother telling people I'm NOT IRISH.
