98th PGA Championship: Padraig Harrington hoping for 'good days ahead' after final round 68
Last Updated: 31/07/16 8:16pm
Padraig Harrington believes there are "good days ahead" for him, provided he can play as well as he did in his final round at Baltusrol.
The 44-year-old three-time major winner followed up his 65 in the third round with a 68 on Sunday and was satisfied with his performance.
"There was a lot of nice shots out there, a lot of nice playing," said Harrington. "There was a lot of nice putting. I certainly was comfortable with my putting today.
"There was two putts that came up short in the middle of the round, which would have been nice. I hit them fine, I putted well.
"I'd take putting like this every day. I'd take playing like this every day. If I continue to play like this every day, there's good days ahead for me."
Despite what the scorecards show, Harrington felt that his best display of the week came in his opening round and is now hoping that his score will be enough to keep him in the top 10.
"I probably played my best on Thursday and shot the worst score, which is interesting," Harrington added. "Six-under is probably a good return on the week. It's obviously not good enough.
"If it hangs on in the top 10, it certainly pushes me up in the FedExCup play-offs, which is nice to know my schedule. I'm happy about that.
"I felt I played well today, nice and solid. I probably - I look back I could have holed a few more putts, but I probably came out of the round neutral.
"That's probably what I deserved. It would have been nice to birdie the last. If I birdied, I would have probably wanted to eagle it. Such is the nature of the game."
