I do understand Norman has had a great career and his likely hood of winning wis little to none because of his preperation....but like in the many other majors he had a great led in he folded in the atmosphere of the round....call it conditions...call it his swing....but in all respect he put too much trust in his so called "favorite club" the driver...as harrington continually grabed his long iron and hybrid norman reached for his driver bogey after bogey...now i am not one to judge because i will never own up to a man of his skill...but one cant help but notice the differences in the games of the final paring and how that affected the outcome of the championship....

Norman has always been a guy who in the final round doesn't like to play conservative. This style has won him a couple of majors but also cost him about a half dozen more. He was tiger before tiger obviously without the success!

People ( spectators ) are very prone to criticize some of the decisions made by Greg Norman in the Sunday round. Think what you will, but remember, he was in the final twosome with less practice and rounds played than most every other contestant. He wasn't as sharp but he drove the previous 3 days with a fair amount of success. His swing failed him more from lack of playing than pressure. So to the " Arm chair generals of the links " who shoot those spectacular rounds with their mouths, good luck in your endeavors.

I don't think he played all that badly. He had a couple of putts lip out. He also really hasn't been in this type of pressure cooker situation in a long time. Also the course coupled with the wind was really tough on Sunday and only a few golfers were able to grind out good rounds.

i think his putter hurt him more than his driver.With that being said you would have thought that maybe after a couple of those wayward drives he might have thought different the next time he pulled that driver from the bag
