“I think one of the worst things you can do in the golf course is the judge and analyze,” Harrington said. “After, let’s say, 26 holes, I knew I would have lost two greens this week and hit a few par 5s.

“Would you prefer to be 15 meters away from the hole on the eve or 20 meters away from the hole in the green?” Harrington continued. “Fifteen meters on the doorstep. But you have lost green. You see what I’m saying? You catch – when you’re playing well, you get caught by hitting the right streets and hitting the greens, which is not always what you want to do on a windy day.
“Sometimes you just have to do the job, and during the last eight holes I was finally doing it.”
Wind conditions made Congress a challenging test on Friday, and Harrington said the difficulty eventually forced him to forget the statistics and focus on simply taking the ball into the hole. During the second half of Friday’s round, Harrington Zogu three of his last five holes.
“Everyday should be just a result,” he said. “You should never analyze a round while you are playing it. There is no doubt, the fact that I knew I would hit a lot of roads and the greens would say I was analyzing my round. In a perfect world you wouldn’t know what outcome you are shooting, you would just play. Well, to make some birds.”
