Well, he's no Walter Hagen, but really, nobody said he was.
Hagen won twice as many British Opens than Norman.

Yup, Norman's absolutely no Walter Hagen.

How many unbiased folks- which wouldn't include you- remember Norman *more* for his chokes than his British Open wins???

Without the use of Google, would *you* have remembered all of Norman's 2nd place finishes let alone the 3rd place ones????

Yeah, didn't think so.

Well, at least you showed everybody that you know how to use Google.
now we're back into the "anyone who disagrees with me is biased" meme.

you're right i should know off the top of my head all what place a golfer finished in every tournament they ever played in.

by your logic phil mickelson sucks too.

perhaps you should learn how to use it. it would keep you from making moronic statements such as greg norman "sucks at golf."

He does.

He's a fat, dopey golfer who has more 'hype' than cred given his resume.

....and yes, i've met the guy. (right after he signed with Yonex to use their clubs).

If John Daly hadn't existed, Mickelson would be that guy.

I know golf, and I know that Greg Norman was a great golfer. What he did in the British Open at his age was amazing.

Absolutely. But among top tour-winning golfers, Norman's Major winning % is very comparable. The best outstrip him (Woods, Nicklaus, etc)... but that's very very far from 'suck'.

Ben Crenshaw... sucks.
Tommy Armour... sucks.
Lanny Wadkins... really sucks.
Tom Kite... really sucks.

Sam Snead, leader for number of overall tour wins (82), who won only 7 majors in a 30 year career... pretty much sucks.


I love this game.

Add Hagen to that list of outstripping Norman as well in Majors, Dom.

Norman's not anywhere up there with Hagen (or Nicklaus or Woods).

norman had a very successful career. wins, places etc.... but hes most known for his choke jobs. not sure how you could see it any other way. he's had some just tragic moments that i for one have loved very much so. but he's rich even after destroying the lives of friends so he has that going for him.

Nobody ever said he was.

And, as I said, that's still very far from 'suck'.

I like the way you ignored the rest of the post.

Ben Crenshaw?
Tommy Armour?

Yup, only two majors...both in the UK.

From your favorite source, BTW....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Norman#Wins_.282.29

I sure see a lot of 'Cuts', 'DNP' and 'WD's, there Chuckles.

I could give a shit about how many times he won a golf tourney that nobody important played in, most folks judge a golfer by the number of *majors* they've won, not how many regular tourneys they won let alone how many times they finished 2nd or 3rd.

But yeah, he finished second 8 times and third another 6 times. Goes to show the point i made about him being able to close a tourney out, huh??
I'm speechless. This bullshit post is laughable.

You obviously know nothing about golf.

It just gets better and better.

Norman 'sucks' at golf? Now I've fucking heard everything.

By that measuring stick, Dan Marino sucked at football.

He's got two major wins- majors is what most judge a 'great' golfer by.

Meanwhile, he's *more* known for melting down and not closing out leads.
