Padraig Harrington says he's planning to take an extended break from the game after his last place finish at the Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda. The three-time major winner's admitted to some staleness in his game after a disappointing season that featured just one top-five finish and he's also dropped out of the top 100 in the world. Masters champion Adam Scott won the event in Bermuda thanks to a final round 64 which saw him finish up on 8 under, two shots clear of Justin Rose.
Harrington said " I've just played probably too many events and I feel it’s time for a break, it's just pure staleness in the game. I've just overplayed. Already in my head, I have pulled out of another two events during the winter to give me a long winter break. It will be probably the longest winter break I've taken since I won my majors. There's not a shadow of a doubt that I'm completely over-golfed at this very moment. "
