Woods backs Padraig plan

Ireland's Harrington has experienced a slump in form this year as he attempts to remodel his swing in a bid to surpass the level of play that has seen him win three of the last seven majors.

Woods, who will defend his US Open title at Bethpage Black this week playing with Harrington and Masters champion Angel Cabrera for the first two rounds, said patience was the key element in the process.
