Padraig Harrington believes that he does not deserve to be backed at 10/1 through the bookmakers for the start of tomorrow's Irish Open.
The three-time major winner is due to take to the green at Royal Portrush this week for the event, with fellow Irishmen Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell sitting with short odds.
"A number of Irish players are playing very well, so I think there's a great chance of an Irish winner," Harrington told Sky Sports News.
"Somebody told me my odds were 10/1. I wouldn't even go close to backing me at that - what a ridiculous thing. The bookies are taking advantage there.
"I was 80/1 to win the US Open a couple of weeks ago, which was nice value. But 10/1 - it's not that easy to win a golf tournament, I can tell you. [But] I believe I have a chance."
Harrington heads into the tournament following a tied-fourth finish at the US Open earlier this month.
