Weekly says Harrington to be targeted at Ryder Cup

Monday, 11 August 2008

American Ryder Cup debutant Boo Weekley said today that Padraig Harrington will be targeted at next month's match in Louisville.

``He's got a target on his back - yes, sir,'' said Weekley, one of three new caps already in the United States side. Four more could come when captain Paul Azinger names his wild cards on September 2.

``I want to beat anybody I tee it up against and it would be an honour to beat him. I'm ready to go out now. It doesn't matter who Paul puts me against.''

Justin Leonard, back in the team for the first time since the controversial scenes that followed his 45-foot putt against Jose Maria Olazabal in 1999, said the Irishman's 66-66 finish to win the US PGA was ``almost unimaginable''.

The former Open champion added: ``I don't know about a target on his back, but he's certainly their best player right now and I look forward to the challenge.''

Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
