Padraig Harrington - when asked his feelings about the 2003 World Cup returning to Kiawah Island and the Ocean Course, had this to say:

"I have very fond memories of the Ocean Course. I won there in 1997 with Paul McGinley in the old format World Cup. It's a fantastic place. Actually, I really enjoyed South Carolina and Charleston, as well. It's a great part of the country. I think it's actually my favorite part of the States."
