THEY call him the Great White Shark - and Greg Norman shows he is still in the big swim when it comes to fitness.
The Aussie double Open winner, posing in the buff for the ESPN Body Issue, is in great shape at 63.
But Greg spends more time designing courses these days than playing them.
Meanwhile, finding a Ryder Cup partner for red-hot Bubba Watson is going to be harder than ever — as even his own son refuses to root for him!
After romping from six behind third-round leader Paul Casey to win the Travelers Championship by three, Watson revealed six-year-old Caleb was keeping his fingers crossed for a JB Holmes victory.
That stemmed from the fact the Americans were ‘neighbours’ after turning up at the course with their families in £1million motorhomes.

Watson, 39, said: “Our buses are right next to each other and JB has his dog, Ace. The kids love playing with Ace and Caleb said to me, ‘I’m pulling for JB’.
“I said, ‘Is that because of his dog or because of JB?’ and he didn’t answer. But I think it’s because of his dog. I hope so!”
Yet Holmes had to settle for second, alongside Brit Casey and two others, as Watson stormed through with a seven-under final-round 63 for a third win of 2018 — some going after two years in the doldrums.
The double Masters champ said: “It’s already been an amazing year, an amazing ride.
“And I think a lot of my return to form comes from having such a settled family life, having a team around me that loves me so much.
“Plus, I’ve changed a lot over the years. It’s just growing up.
“I never used to be but now I’m the fastest to apologise.”
Watson would certainly not have won a popularity poll in the past.
He once topped a survey among PGA Tour pros asking them to name the player they would be least likely to help out in a fight.
And it is an open secret there has not been a rush of volunteers to partner him at Ryder Cups.
But with his spot on this year’s team all but guaranteed, he hopes his passion will win over his team-mates.
Watson said: “I’ve never won a Ryder Cup, so trying to help the US win the trophy would be like another Major to me.”
