PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON’S MASTERS hopes are dead in the water after a horrid start to his second round at the Shell Houston Open.
Needing a win this weekend to secure an Augusta invitation, Harrington was already in trouble and started the day on one-over-par, nine shots behind overnight leader Charley Hoffman.
Any faint chance was quickly extinguished with a triple-bogey eight on the fourth hole — when he put the ball into the water not once, but twice.
He followed up that nightmare hole with a bogey at the sixth, and then had another hole to forget at the eighth, first losing his tee shot and then putting his second ball into the water, eventually taking a double-bogey seven.
He’s currently on seven-over-par at the turn, tied for 136th place.

And if he hadn’t tried to amalgamate the middle eastern countries to take control if it’s oil reserves by trading it in denar instead of dollars, he may well still be alive. Great to see Libya thriving today though under western democracy
@domas1507: I must add though that the counter argument would be that if we hadn’t delivered “democracy” then we would have lost control of a vital resource and we would possibly be the countries in turmoil. So it all depends on how you like you bread buttered I suppose
@domas1507: yeah, but more importantly, who won the match?
@Conoroconnor: Watch it tonight… Exclusively on RTE
@Gary Donlan: indeed I will. I have it set to record.
@Conoroconnor: ended 1-1
@domas1507: spoiler alert ffs!
The gas thing here is that Hughey made his close friend Larry Goodman a rich man because of sending beef to Libya. The same fella today has a monopoly on Irish beef factories because he holds the only offal license in the country. He uses this to keep the price of beef paid to farmers low.
Also look up the beef tribunal and how Haughey bailed out Goodman after the US invaded Iraq and Goodman went bankrupt.
Farmer gets €1200 for his product, he keeps them for 30 months. The factory and the supermarket get €1500 in profits for a few days work.
Each animal is worth about €2700 when sold to the consumer.
@great gael of Eire:Didnt know Hughey was friends with Larry Goodman. I’ve never seen him drinking in mccoys
@Peter Govan: Very good. Haha
Poor Gaddafi. Iti was probably the BSE beef that did it.
