Here's a video of Padraig Harrington swinging Happy Gilmore-style at the PGA's long drive contest

The odd wet-blanked aside, the PGA Championship's Long Drive contest went off on Tuesday with much fanfare and general good cheer all around.

Louis Oostuizen's 338-yard drive gave him the edge over Jason Day to win the competition -- and a pretty sweet gold money clip -- but it was Padraig Harrington who provided the most memorable moment. The 2008 PGA champion's drive missed the fairway -- which rendered him ineligible for the competition -- but his Happy Gilmore-style swing endeared him to the Kentucky crowd.
