Padraig Harrington was accountable, responsible and downright likable in his news conference today at Hazeltine National Golf Club.  Harrington, meeting with the media for the first time during the 91st PGA Championship was asked a number of questions about his final round over the weekend.  He had ample opportunities to cast blame for his failure to win on a number of people and factors, but ultimately accepted responsibility for his undoing on the 16th.

Harrington also commented on the fact that Hazeltine is long, but that he believes that’s how a major championship golf course should play.  He referred to the course as strong and downplayed the length.
