Norman set for Turnberry return

Greg Norman is set to return to the scene of his maiden major championship victory after confirming he will play in The British Senior Open Championship at Turnberry next month.

Former world number one Norman, 57, will play the July 26-29 senior major 26 years after finishing five shots clear of Gordon J Brand over the famous Ailsa Course to win the 1986 Open Championship.

The Australian, who claimed a second Claret Jug at Royal St George’s in 1993, said Turnberry will always hold a special place in his heart and he is relishing a return to the renowned Scottish links next month when he will join fellow Turnberry champion Tom Watson in the field.
