The 2015 winner of The Honda Classic in Florida, Padraig Harrington, entertained us differently at a 2014 tournament. Valhalla GC hosted the PGA Championship and featured a long-drive contest during a practice round. You may remember that Bubba Watson protested this contest by hitting a quick shot with a 3-iron, which disappointed the crowd and made him look foolish.

Fortunately, Padraig Harrington is a very likable fellow and was happy to delight the Valhalla audience with a special shot.

Here is the shot as reported by NESN.com

Take notes, Bubba Watson. This is how you lighten up.

Watson made news Tuesday at Valhalla — site of this weekend’s PGA Championship — when he refused to participate in a long-drive contest during a practice round. Instead of unloading on one drive at the par-5 10th hole, Watson pulled out his 3-iron and hit a quick tee shot in apparent protest.

Luckily for golf fans, Padraig Harrington didn’t take himself too seriously. The 2008 PGA Championship winner embraced the contest, as he channeled his inner-Happy Gilmore.
