Where Are They Now Files, Birkdale '08 Edition: Padraig Harrington vs. Greg Norman (Viewer Discretion Advised)
/The Shark tired to a final round 77 but gave us a thrill when contending for the 2008 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
As the championship prepares to return there nine years after that exciting week, this seems like a nice opportunity to catch up with winner Padraig Harrington and T3 finisher Greg Norman.
Padraig Harrington is tied for the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open lead. Yes, he's got an interesting swing and finish these days, but he's as lovable, driven and zany as ever. But he's found a place of contentment, something he addressed after the round (Nick Rodger's report for the Herald.)
Underrated in @padraig_h's swing is the left* foot off the ground on the backswing. The follow-through is Gentle Gilmore @AAMScottishOpen pic.twitter.com/NcHOVo8oYu

Greg Norman vacations regularly, injures himself constantly and likes to keep his clothes off on Instagram.
