Greg Norman will inject some much-needed drama into the seniors tour. Norman, who recently turned 50, will play the 19th Senior British Open, according to press reports, and it’s none too soon.

Everybody loves a charger, which Norman was in his heyday, and although he won more than his share and was the best in the world for a while, he had a tendency to choke in some big ones. Norman is still in denial about that, but the facts are there.

Still, he’s enjoyable to watch and if he’s on his game, he could supplant Hale Irwin as the hero of the old fogey tour, if he decides to take a break from his business empire and play regularly. I, for one, enjoy watching the old guys play. It’s like tuning into a Twilight Zone episode, all those names from the past.
