It wasn't broken, but Harrington is still fixing it

[golffan]

Harrington won the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008, rising to No. 3 in the world rankings. Then, ever the restless soul, he started tinkering with his swing - and promptly plunged off the map, with no top-10 finishes and eight missed cuts in his next 17 starts.
Harrington resurfaced last week at the Bridgestone Invitational, where he tussled with Tiger Woods before imploding on the 16th hole Sunday. Still, he climbed back into the top 10 in the rankings (he had been No. 17 before last week). And, more importantly, he began to find a level of comfort.
"What you saw last week was more of a mind-set change," Harrington said Tuesday at Hazeltine National, where this year's PGA begins Thursday. "About six weeks ago, I kind of figured out the move I wanted to make, and that put my mind at rest. ... I still think it will be next winter before I really have it grooved in."

Even though Woods complained about their group landing "on the clock" - moments before Harrington made triple bogey to lose the lead - Harrington refused to make any excuses for his late meltdown.
"I reacted poorly to the situation, and that's my own fault," he said. "It's our rules. It's part of the game and you have to put up with it."
Olympic chatter: Golf is widely expected to make the cut Thursday, when the International Olympic Committee's executive board recommends two sports to add to the 2016 Summer Games. The final decision is scheduled for Oct. 9.
Asked if he would play in '16 - when he would be 40 - Woods smiled and said, "If I'm not retired by then, yeah."
Said Harrington: "I'd love to be an Olympian. Doesn't that sound good? I think it would be fantastic for golf."
Briefly: Trevor Immelman, the 2008 Masters champion, withdrew Tuesday because of a wrist injury. Bob Estes replaced him in the field. ...
