Harrington's stock soars

Fantasy golf players - all five of them - are buzzing this week with the news that Padraig Harrington plans to play 16 to 18 PGA Tour tournaments next year (he only entered four regular Tour events this year).

Can’t say I’ve ever played fantasy golf, but I can understand the excitement. Don’t be surprised if Harrington has a huge 2005, assuming the travel back and forth to Dublin doesn’t wear on him. Don’t worry that he hasn’t won in the United States yet; that’ll change in a big way next year.
