Presenting the Debate: Sergio Garcia is currently dating Greg Norman's daughter Morgan. The debate is to whether or not this association hurts, benefits or is irrelevant to his golf game.The For Argument: Well she looks pretty damn good and her father was a terrific golfer and has boatloads of money. Norman did win two major championships during the course of his career and perhaps his knowledge could help Sergio finally get over the hump at the tournament which best suites his game. Also, maybe Normans experiences of finishing just short could help him.
The Against Argument: Well she is now associated with two of historians most classic runners up. No one in the golfing world finished just short more than Greg Norman. He's got no Masters wins but had 9 top 6 finishes including 3 runner up finishes. That's painful. But to make it worse much of it was Norman choking in the final round ala Sergio, which included him shooting a 78 on a sunday where he came into the day with a 6 stroke lead. Sergio at 27 now 13 top ten finishes and has finished in the top 5 at The Open Championship the past three years including back to back choke jobs. See the similarities? Sergio is on record as saying something extra is working against him at these majors, perhaps its this association with Greg "Just Short" Norman.
The Its Irrelevant Argument: It's just a coincidence, Sergio would be a choker regardless of the association.
