"But I'm more a man for a Coke."

Tim Carroll talks to Padraig Harrington about his wrist, the Ryder Cup, Sergio, the chances of a Paddy slam and clarifies this little bit for the media that always assumes every Irishman bathes in Guinness:

WSJ: Which tasted better: Guinness in the first Claret Jug or the second?

Mr. Harrington: Oh, I'm not a Guinness man at all. John Smith's Smooth Bitters was the first drink out of the jug, which is a drink that my manager drinks. It wouldn't be my cup of tea at all. It would be down to the Irish whiskeys for me. I don't have the most acquired taste for beer. But I'm more a man for a Coke.

Will Paddy be wearing a Coke logo on his shirt this year?

[OWGR Fan]

Has any pro golfer sported a Coke logo since Lee Westwood stopped wearing it?

[John Sullivan]

I thought the Claret Jug was for red wine !!

[Curmudgeon]

I heard Tiger filled his with McDonald's fountain coke to wash down his Big Mac, so what's the problem?

I saw the headline and though I finally had an answer to how he kept his energy up to win two draining majors back to back... then had a massive crash!
