Harrington: injury worries
The only issue would be if I re-injured it in the rough and that's what is a little bit scary

Padraig Harrington has suffered an injury scare on the eve of his defence of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
The defending champion has injured his wrist and is now worried that the problem may flare up when playing out of the rough.
The Dubliner is still hopeful that he will be able to play saying that: "It has improved over the last two days but I just can't be sure until I start hitting shots.
"I've been having treatment and I'm strongly hopeful I will be able to play.
"The only issue would be if I re-injured it in the rough and that's what is a little bit scary."
Thinking positive
Harrington however is trying to think positively, recalling that he also did not play a practice round on the Monday before his victory at Carnoustie in 2007.
Still, the Claret Jug holder says that: "Mentally I'm quite positive, just a bit worried about it being weak and flaring up where I can't continue to play.
"I think I will be teeing up with strapping (on it), but who knows."

Good Luck Padraig! Hopefully the luck of the Irish will win you the open again.
