Until this week, Greg Norman hadn't played in an Open Championship since 2005 at St. Andrews where he finished in a tie for 60th.
In case you were wondering, Norman simply chose not to play in 2006 and 2007. As a past champion, the 53-year-old Shark is eligible to compete in the Open until he turns 60 years old.
