Greg Norman hopeful for special exemption to play in Open Championship at St. Andrews

Greg Norman has created an industry out of pushing back against the status quo in professional golf, so it was no surprise that he applied the same sensibilities to his competitive future.

The Australian told News Corp that he has set his sights on a return to competition later this summer at The Open Championship. Norman hasn’t played in a PGA Tour event since 2012, and at 67 years old, he is seven years past the exemption threshold for former champions.

“I think I can still get in,” said Norman, who last played The Open in 2009 at Turnberry.
