Padraig Harrington still puts his money on Tiger Woods breaking Jack Nicklaus' record 18 professional majors.
Harrington played the opening two rounds of the PGA Championship with Woods, who missed the cut. Even so, the Irishman saw him hit enough good shots to realize his game will not be gone forever.
"I still believe when he turns up and plays well in a given week, I think he's well capable of winning any major he plays in," Harrington said Tuesday. "He still has a good ball flight. He still hits it well. Once he puts it together in a given week, he can win and will going forward. ... OK, it wasn't his week that week. But when it is his week, he will win again."
Harrington said the difference now is that if something can go wrong with Woods on the course, it will. Woods was atop the leaderboard through five holes of the opening round, and one tee shot into the water changed everything. He opened with a 77 and finished outside the top 100 in a major for the first time.
