The Shark Reverts to Major Championship Form

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Fifty-three year old Greg Norman led by 2 after three rounds at the British Open, but succumbed to the conditions and his past performance in major championships:
Norman, at 53 trying to become the oldest major champion, lost his two-shot lead in three holes and still had a one-shot lead going to the back nine. But he made eight bogeys in 30 mph wind and closed with a 77 to tie for third with Henrik Stenson (71).

Padraig Harrington (a great name for a British Open winner) takes his second British Open in a row, playing with a wrist that hurt so much he wasn't even sure he was going to start the tournament.

Given Tiger Woods gimpy-legged win in the U.S. Open and Harrington's bad wrist in the Brit, look to see whose barely able to start the PGA and bet on him.
