>>The new British Open Champion is the cousin of Joey Harrington of the Atlanta Falcons.

>FYI, Sam, he's also the cousin of Dan Harrington, a well-known world class poker player and 1995 World Series of Poker main event champion. Dan tells a *great* story about calling his mother when he won the world championship -- all his mother could talk about was that Padraig had won some small tournament that weekend and couldn't understand why Dan was excited about being a "world champion" at something so insignificant as a card game.

>The fact that he also won a million dollars in the process somehow eluded her as well...
