NEWLY-crowned US PGA champion Padraig Harrington wants to add FedEx Cup success to his double major-winning season.
Harrington, refreshed from a week's holiday in North Carolina following his two-stroke PGA victory over Sergio Garcia and Ben Curtis at Oakland Hills, returns to action at Ridgewood Country Club tomorrow.
The Irishman tees off in the Barclays, the first of four events in the PGA Tour's lucrative season-ending play-offs.
"It was an interesting week," Harrington said of his holiday. "I sat by the pool for most of it and come Sunday I was thinking I would like to sit there for another week.
"But the FedEx Cup is what is attracting me out here again. After two majors you think, 'well, I could do with a rest' but there are other things to play for so that's why I'm here this week."
