Three-time major winner Harrington put a season of struggle and eight missed cuts behind him on Sunday when he claimed second place behind Tiger Woods at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio for his best finish on either the European or PGA Tours since winning the US PGA at Oakland Hills 12 months ago this week.

The Irishman, however, did not credit the swing changes he has been working on since that victory for prompting the sudden change in form last week, and said: "I think what you saw last week was more of a mind-set change."

He added: "About six weeks ago, I kind of figured out ultimately what the move I was looking for to fix the problem I had.

"I haven't quite corrected it or done enough work in that period of time, but it's obviously put my mind at rest. And I'm focusing more on playing golf, and that's what you would have seen last week.

"I think ultimately, the move, while it should improve my game as I go on for the rest of the year, I would still think it will be through the winter, next winter, before I start to really have it grooved in.

"So it will be another six months.

"I'm quite capable of performing well enough without that move to win this week."
