NORMAN PROVES THIS IS NO TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
By Melanie Hauser, PGATOUR.COM Correspondent

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- He's at it again.

Just when we're ready to say this is Greg Norman's last stroll down the fairways at the Masters, he up and opens with a 2-under-par-70 that should have been a 67. Maybe a 65.

Friday's forecast

Isolated T-Storms
Temp: 77 high/59 low
Isolated thunderstorms are expected during the second round with winds out of the south, southwest at 16 mph.

Missed an 18-inch birdie at the 18th. Missed three or four relatively makeable -- think seven feet or less and factor in Augusta's greens -- putts in the first 17 holes.

You thinking Birkdale? Deep down, he probably is.

Norman may be 54, but he's playing like he's 44. Maybe 34.

He's sticking to his plan: play solid golf and keep his expectations low. His focus is on making the cut and seeing what he can do.

He and wife Chrissie are talking sports and passion, and he's finally sharing the spotlight here with son Gregory, who's on his bag.

They're all, as Gregory said, "feeling the love.''

So what does he think of the outpouring?

"Hey, everybody loves me,'' he said, drawing a laugh. "Nothing wrong with that, is there? Are you jealous?''

Yes, he's still got it. On and off the course.

The charisma is still unmistakable.
