Harrington says fear motivates him
Padraig Harrington stared at the claret jug after winning his second straight British Open, and thanked his greatest motivator: fear of failure.
He won by four strokes at Royal Birkdale on Sunday, a year after beating Sergio Garcia in a playoff at Carnoustie. Harrington joined a select group of back-to-back winners of golf's oldest major, and became the first European in more than a century to win the Open in consecutive years.
