It’s rare that anything earns near-unanimous approval from the denizens of Twitter
Padraig Harrington ended a six-year PGA Tour drought earlier today with a thrilling and emotional play-off victory at the Honda Classic, and the reaction to his success has only reinforced the notion that the affable Dubliner is the most well-liked man in golf.
Twitter lived and died with every twist and turn of a rollercoaster final round and after Harrington finally emerged victorious, their was an outpouring for joy from the golf and wider sporting world.
Chuffed to see Padraig Harrington winning again. Lovely fella!
