Greg Norman on taming Royal St George’s, snaring two Open Championships (and almost a third), cloning claret jugs and what playing alongside Nick Faldo was really like.
Almost a year on from having to cancel the Open Championship at Royal St George’s, the R&A is currently planning three events – no crowd, limited crowd, unrestricted crowd – for 2021.
Shane Lowry should be at Royal St George’s Golf Club defending the claret jug this week. Instead, he’s at Muirfield Village Golf Club after the Open Championship was cancelled and the Memorial was moved back six weeks.
The R&A announced overnight that Royal St George’s will host the 2020 British Open. The claret jug will make its 15th appearance at the Sandwich course, with its most recent visit coming in 2011.
