The 137th Open is underway at Birkdale. It looks like a wide open tournament this year, particularly with the absence of Tiger Woods.
Conditions were very poor this morning with all the early starters struggling in the wind and rain. Retief Goosen is the clubhouse leader on +1. Defending champion Padraig Harrington got through his opening round on +4, despite a wrist injury.

Didn't Norman lead by six shots going into the final round one year and still lose? (To Faldo in the mid-nineties, wasn't it?)

He does have a very poor record when leading going into the final round of Majors. He's won the Open twice, though. Harrington currently leading by one from Poulter. Norman is among four players two shots further back.
