Norman Grabs Outright Lead After 54 Holes

It ain’t bragging if you’ve got the goods.

In one of the most unlikely scenarios anyone could have conceived, The Shark is back in contention at the British Open.

After a three year absence, two-time champion Greg Norman is making his return to The Open Championship this week at Royal Birkdale. It will be Norman’s 26th appearance in the event and first since finishing T60 at St. Andrews in 2005.

One of my best golf moments ever was watching Norman win the British Open in 1986. On Rocco’s Sony Watchman. While hiking in the Rockies.

BRILLIANT.

He and Tiger are my two favourite golfers. Ever.

Greg Norman will take a two-stroke lead into Championship Sunday after continuing his improbable run for a third Open title. The Shark showed the heart of a champion Saturday at Royal Birkdale, grinding out a stellar 2-over par 72 in winds gusting 40 miles per hour. The 53-year old World Golf Hall of Famer is the oldest player to lead a major after 54 holes and will be paired with defending champion Padraig Harrington in the final round.

His recent wedding to former tennis champ Chris Evert must agree with him.
