Great White hype greets Masters icon

FOR a man whose Augusta National experiences have been shaped by his spectacular failures there, Greg Norman’s return to the Masters has been met with an amazing amount of hype.

For a golfer whose time as the world number one came in the 1980s and 1990s, whose second and final major win came in 1993 and whose last tournament win came in 1998, the attention may appear unseemly.

Yet, even in his golfing dotage at the age of 54, the Australian two-time Open champion is still a great draw, and as fascinating as the Great White Sharks, whose moniker he shares.
