Padraig backing Tiger bid

Irishman believes Woods can beat record of 18 majors



Padraig Harrington believes that Tiger Woods will surpass Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. Woods looked a certainty to go past Nicklaus when he took his tally to 14 by winning the US Open at Torrey Pines in 2008. But he's drawn a blank since after battling with injuries and being put through the media grinder after the sex scandal which cost him his marriage. "I'd be still backing him to beat Jack's record, absolutely. If he turns up and plays well, he's going to win. He's in the position that he knows his best game is a winning game." Harrington on Woods Quotes of the week However, Woods has been in good health for the last few months and has also started to bed in a new swing after switching coaches from Hank Haney to Sean Foley. The American ended a two-year winless streak by capturing the limited-field Chevron World Challenge in California last year and started his 2012 season by finishing third in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. Having watched Woods progress, Harrington now believes Tiger's quest to catch Jack will be successful. "I've played with him and the way he hits the golf ball, there wouldn't be very many players who wouldn't want to hit the golf ball like him," said the Irishman. - http://www1.skysports.com/
