Harrington 8544818 300x178 Harrington admits Augusta concernPadraig Harrington (18/1 with Betfred to win the Masters) admits the Augusta National course “intimidates” him, but feels the fear will bring the best out of him.

The three-time major winner will go into this week’s Masters looking to bounce back, after a final day to forget at the Shell Houston Open.

Harrington (7/2f to be top GB & Ire player) carded a 77 on Sunday to leave him in 40th place in the tournament, not ideal preparation for the first major of 2010.

But Harrington is one of the best at responding when under pressure and the Irishman is looking forward to a another attempt to win a green jacket.

The 38-year-old admitted: “Augusta would be the golf course that intimidates me most. Always has. But I like that – I have always played based on fear. I’m always better when I’m absolutely pushed to the end and Augusta does that.”

Harrington has a decent record at Augusta, finishing in the top ten on three occasions – including tied for fifth in 2008.
