  • Padraig Harrington : De Retour À Crans-Montana En Star Mondiale Du Golf
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE 9 AOT 2013 PADRAIG HARRINGTON : DE RETOUR À CRANS-MONTANA EN STAR MONDIALE DU GOLF Lors de sa dernière participation en 2000, l’Irlandais Padraig Harrington, alors jeune professionnel de golf, n’avait pas passé le cut. Après 13 ans d’absence, à 41 ans, il revient à Crans-Montana pour disputer cette édition 2013 de l’OMEGA EUROPEAN MASTERS (5-8 septembre) fort d’un fabuleux palmarès : trois victoires de tournois majeurs, onze succès sur l'European Tour et deux sur le US PGA Tour, ainsi que six participations à la Ryder Cup au sein de l’équipe européenne. Né le 31 août 1971, Padraig Harrington a grandi dans la même banlieue de Dublin que Paul McGinley, autre joueur de Ryder Cup. Il se mit au golf à l’âge de quatre ans, puis connut une brillante carrière amateure internationale avant de passer professionnel en 1995. En 1998, Harrington débuta sur le circuit américain où il devint membre régulier de l'US PGA Tour en 2003. Les moments forts de sa prestigieuse carrière furent ses deux victoires au British Open 2007 et 2008, ainsi que son triomphe lors du US PGA Championship 2008, soit trois tournois majeurs. Sans oublier de mentionner qu’il se classa également à neuf reprises entre le second et le dixième rang d’un tournoi de Grand Chelem. Entre 1999 et 2010, Padraig Harrington disputa six fois la Ryder Cup en tant que membre de l’équipe européenne (quatre victoires) et onze fois la World Cup pour l’Irlande. De 1996 à ce jour, il disputa 355 tournois, rien que sur l'European Tour, au cours desquels grâce à sa régularité il se classa à 116 reprises dans les top dix (14 x 1er, 26 x 2e et 11 x 3e) pour un gain total de 23,7 millions d’euros auxquels viennent s’ajouter 22,35 millions de dollars accumulés sur le US PGA Tour ! Les exploits de Padraig Harrington lui valurent de nombreuses récompenses - la plus belle sans doutes - membre d'honneur à vie de l'European Tour.
