Greg Norman makes a rare return to tournament golf at the Asian Open this week, four years after being disqualified from the tournament. Norman, 53, will take on a strong field in the $2.3 million event at Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club, including two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, world No. 13 Henrik Stenson and defending champion Raphael Jacquelin.It will be the first tournament for Norman -- who was rated as the world's top player for seven years and is a two-time British Open champion -- since South Africa late last year, when he finished ahead of the likes of Goosen and Ernie Els, proving the 'Great White Shark' still retained some bite despite semi-retirement.
