Harrington is such a gent.
Padraig Harrington won his first tournament since 2008 this week by clinching the Honda Classic on Monday.
The Dubliner, who’s arguably our greatest ever sportsperson, was invited on to the Late Late Show to chat about the win.
He’s was first up, rightly so, and his chat with Ryan Tubridy went down a treat in sitting rooms across the country.
