Norman Grabs 2-Stroke Lead

Greg Norman survived another battering from windswept Royal Birkdale to take a two-stroke lead at the British Open with defending champion Padraig Harrington chasing hard. The 53-year-old, part-time golfer, celebrated the 3-week anniversary of his marriage to Chris Evert by shooting a 2-over 72 on Saturday, the AP reports.

It was 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 at Royal Birkdale. Norman 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.
