Norman in familiar spot at major _ if it was 1996

This sounds familiar: Greg Norman goes to the final round of a major with the lead.

And, no, we're not talking about 1996.

The 53-year-old, part-time golfer reclaimed a spot he used to know all too well in his prime, putting the Shark one more solid round away from becoming golf's oldest major champion in its oldest of major championships, the British Open.

What a nice wedding gift that would be: the claret jug.

Norman celebrated the three-week anniversary of his marriage to tennis great Chris Evert by shooting a 2-over 72 on Saturday, a brilliant round considering the fearsome, howling gusts that blew away a number of potential challengers and left everyone else hanging on for dear life.
