MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former world number one golfer Greg Norman has lashed young Australian tennis players Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic for behaving "stupidly" on tour and offered to lecture them face-to-face on the values of good sportsmanship.

Tomic and Kyrgios have drawn scathing criticism from players and pundits for a raft of transgressions on and off the court.

World number 20 Tomic has clashed with Australian tennis officials over funding and was arrested by Miami police for holding a noisy hotel room party earlier this year.
