Shark plays 'more tennis than golf'

Talk about rolling back the hands of time, it was 22 years ago when Greg Norman won his first British Open at Turnberry. Thursday's round was very reminiscent of that round in 1986 that was played on a windy, cold rainy day. Norman looked a lot like he did in his prime, Despite getting married to tennis star Chris Evert just three weeks ago and not working very hard on his game, Norman looked as good as he did in his prime. Of course there are alway keys to a good round and Norman's putter did the job today as he had just 28 putts. He also had the luck of the draw, despite playing late conditions were better in the afternoon than in the morning. "I practice more tennis than golf," Norman told the press. "But there's something about this tournament, the atmosphere, the excitement."

By playing tennis with Chris Evert, Norman has kept his competitive juices flowing which has helped him on the golf course as of late. A lot of fans including myself believe that you have a lot of golf left and not just for the senior tour, but for the regular tour as well. Keep it up, so that you can get an exemption to the Masters and win a green jacket

I have to take back my previous comments - I guess being married to Evert has given Norman new life to his ''driver' !!!

Heh, if he wins, he deserves to win, that's all. Yeah, muktech, your schtick is way over.

I've said it before, nobody, including Tiger, ever put in the practice that Norman did. Maybe he's late bloomer...hope so.
