Harrington to visit White House

Associated Press

Padraig Harrington can't think of a better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day -- at the White House for a party hosted by President Barack Obama.

Ireland's three-time major champion says he has been invited to the White House on March 17 for an annual St. Patrick's Day party that the president hosts for the Irish taoiseach.

"I'm looking forward to it," Harrington said, who shared his good news with no prompting. "I want to meet one of the most charismatic people in the world, and the most influential leaders in the world. And he's a golfer. I quite enjoy celebrating St. Patrick's Day."

But he'll take it easy on the celebration.

"I have a tee time the next day," Harrington said.

In what is sure to be a busy week, the Irishman plans to play that week in the Transitions Championship at Innisbrook.
