Padraig Harrington
No player capitalized on Tiger's absence
more than Harrington. He overcame howling
wind and a resurgent Shark to claim his
second-straight Claret Jug and rebounded

has developed a nose for the finish line. The
closer he is to Sunday afternoon in a major,
the more likely he is to hole putts. Sound like

Threat level: Severe
