DOUBLE Major winner Padraig Harrington is 14/1 to sink the winning putt at this week's Ryder Cup, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.

The Irishman, who helped himself to the Open and the U.S PGA earlier this year, is the same price to score a maximum of five points and 100/1 to hit a hole in one.

His European team-mates are 4/5 favourites to win their fourth tournament in a row when action commences at the Valhalla golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky.

But money in the last few days would suggest the visitors may not have it all their own way.

Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison said; "We have Europe as favourites and we have them in the book as a good result, which we are more than happy with at the moment.

"All of the patriotic money has been for Europe as you would expect, but in the last 48 hours the bigger punters have been coming for the United States and it will be interesting to see if their price holds.
