Perhaps you’ve heard of The Butterfly Effect? It’s the chaos theory where a small change in one place (something as small as the flap of a butterfly’s wings) can lead to a larger unpredictable change somewhere else. Well, Padraig Harrington saw a variation of that theory seemingly play out (somewhat literally) on Friday at the European Tour’s Portugal Masters.
The win is only the Spaniard’s third (the Singapore Masters on the Asian Tour is the other) since he donned the green jacket at Augusta National 18 months ago.
