Norman plays down Open chances

Greg Norman vowed to keep his expectations “realistically low” despite a first-round 70 in the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

Norman, winner at Turnberry in 1986 and Sandwich in 1993, carded two birdies and two bogeys to lie just one shot off the lead shared by Graeme McDowell, Rocco Mediate and Robert Allenby.
