"Luck of the Irish, I'll accept that," he said after winning the Asian Tour event in Malaysia to end a barren spell which had stretched back to the 2008 US PGA Championship victory -- the third of his major triumphs. "I got a lot of breaks. Things went my way all four days.
There's no doubt that it was my week to win. If you had followed me for the four days, I don't think anyone would have questioned that my name was written on the trophy before the tournament started.
I hit some good shots and at times, the right thing happened at the right time. That's important when you're trying to win." The $198,125 prize is far from the most important of his lucrative career but the significance of getting back into the winner's enclosure was not lost on Harrington. "It's obviously been a while. Two years is a long time especially when you're reminded every week you play.
It's nice and very important for me to go and win. Winning is a habit so it's another good reason to keep winning and get back on track. Every time you win is important but when you haven't won for a while it does add a bit more to it, add a bit more emphasis to it. “It makes it all the more memorable."
