Well done Padraig!

After an Olympic weekend of every sport known to man, some of the most thrilling football displays in treacherous conditions in Croke Park on Saturday, a spectacular hurling showcase yesterday, and after a day that started with an early rise for John Joe Joyce in the boxing, we’re still up, and still consumed by sport. It never ends.
It’s now 12:47am and we’re just after watching Padraig Harrington come from six shots behind halfway through, to win the PGA Championship. It’s a privilege to be able to share moments like this - we’ve been watching the final shots on a dodgy Asian channel called SBS Golf in a not-entirely-legal fashion - but we’re desperate to have a visual to add to the fuzzy BBC Five Live radio commentary.
Yet another wonderful moment for Padraig and for Irish sport. And with the Kilkenny victory, it makes for a great day all round. If they’re not the greatest team ever, they’re certainly not far off.
What a day, what a day.
