Driver hurt Norman at Birkdale

Greg Norman didn't know he had qualified for his 23rd trip to Masters until after he finished up at Birkdale. He didn't sound overly excited. "Time out, OK?" he said. "I've got a lot of water to go over the dam to get to that, but I've got to play next week and I've got a lot to look forward to. Hopefully Troon plays a little friendlier than this one." What Norman meant was that Royal Troon, where the Senior British Open will be played this week, doesn't rip up his insides like Birkdale did. Norman hit a lot of drivers at Birkdale because he doesn't hit it very long any more, and when he started getting shaky, he didn't hit it straight. Long and crooked, bad combination, but it's better than short and crooked.

His course management hurt him.

Same story with Mickleson.

If he'd have it a one-iron off of every par 4 and par 5 he would have won.

I hope his new wife slaps him up good for that.

Yea, if he's short and crooked, it must be boring for the new wife.
