Padraig Harrington may withdraw after father's death
Padraig Harrington, the leading British and Irish player in the world rankings may withdraw from the Open after the death of his father, Patrick, on Monday.
"I've had the best possible background for playing golf, for playing all sports," he said.
"I couldn't have got more encouragement from my dad without ever in any sense pushing or wanting to live his life through my sports.
"It was top-notch. When I was growing up my dad was a very competitive, very intelligent player and he just taught me the art of scoring.
"He would never tell me how to swing the club, but encouraged me to score well and at the end of the day that's really where my talents lie."
