Padraig Harrington and his caddie Ronan Flood are more than just buddies.
They’re like Rodge and Podge, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza or even Dobby the Elf and Harry Potter.
In fact, Harrington made a point of giving Flood a massive share of the credit just minutes after he had lifted the Harry Vardon Trophy as Europe’s No1 for 2006.

The veteran Scot, 79, insists that the Dubliner is “crazy” to make changes in his swing as he prepares to turn 40 at the end of this month.
“Disappointed” that Harrington has decided to “take a break” in their 15-year partnership, Torrance said: “He has been going down one road that I think is the wrong one and he is determined to go down that road.
“I said to him, if you go down too far, you won’t come back.
“You cannot make changes at 40 in golf. You can make them when you are in your 20’s, but once you get to 40, it is too late.
Padraig Harrington is making plenty of headlines this week but not quite the way he had hoped.
