There is an argument to be made that Padraig Harrington is Player of the Year on the PGA Tour.  Two majors in a row are tough to deny.  He would be a lock were it not for Tiger's performance pre-2nd surgery.  But, Harrington has a case that is incomplete.  He still has the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup to win the award.  If he wins the FedEx Cup, could he then be a lock for Player of the Year?

In a story in the NY Post, Paddy is quoted as saying:

"I sat by the pool most of the week and come Sunday, I was thinking I might sit there another week. On that [basis], the FedEx Cup is a success. I wouldn't be here [otherwise]," said Harrington, who also won the British Open this summer. "The FedEx Cup is what is attracting me out again this week and that was the idea of it, to get players out here to compete at this time of year.

"After winning two majors, you think, 'Well, I could do with a rest,' but there's other things to play for."

"It's a great chance of winning the title of Player of the Year and leading the Order of Merit. I've done it in Europe and it'd be very nice to do it in the States. That's the No. 1 motivation. This is an opportunity for all of us to do it now," Harrington said.

Paddy believes.  Do you?
