Tiger to run interference for Padraig

Padraig Harrington said yesterday that he's looking forward to the return of Tiger Woods to draw attention away from his bid for a third straight major championship at the Masters in two months.

"I am looking forward to Tiger coming back and taking some of the spotlight off me. It's much easier to win any tournament under the radar," Harrington said Wednesday during his pre-tournament interview at the Buick Invitational.
