The Open Championship

It is obviously, a completely different game. Hence why so many Americans were in the top ten. They really need to change the ranking system.

I watched video footage of Greg Norman from 1986 - and his swing was exactly the same then- when he was in his prime - as it was this week at the Open. Exactly the same. Age 54. Wow. And it isn't like he waves at the ball- he hits it as hard anyone. ANYONE. He probably still has a 32 inch waist, and frankly, he is in better shape than 99.9 of them out there. Age 54.

So what if he didn't win- at age 54 he was at the very top of the leader board. 54! There is no way that Gretzky could do what he did at 54. The last time he played competitive golf? God only knows - he just came here for his honeymoon. HONEYMOON? and finished tied for fourth? 54?

And it wasn't exactly a turkey shoot out there- I can't remember harder conditions at the Open- and he was EVEN after two days. Age 54.

Before the Tiger, there was the Shark.

and before him, the Bear- but at age 54, he couldn't even make cuts.
