Golf: Norman leads fellow majors

GREG NORMAN played 27 holes in even par on Tuesday to take a three-stroke lead into the final nine holes of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, a 36-hole tournament for the winners of the four Majors, at La Quinta, California.

The Open champion finished the day on 108 with Paul Azinger on 111, Bernhard Langer a stroke behind on 112 and Lee Janzen five shots adrift of Norman with 113.

However Norman was not happy about the state of the Nicklaus Resort Course. 'This is disgusting. It doesn't even make you want to play golf,' said the Australian, who found the water on four occasions during the day.
