The guy was world #1 for more weeks than anyone other than Tiger. He was #1 about 1/2 as long as Tiger, but 3 times longer than Rory, DJ, or Faldo - the next in line.
He had some bad luck (or bad nerves, although he really doesn't look "nervous" to me) which gave him a string of "almosts".
That seems to have led a lot of people to think he wasn't all that great. But he was. He really, really was a GREAT golfer. And a lot of people just don't seem to realize that.
Full disclosure: One of the first real golf shirts I bought back in 1998 was a Greg Norman "Shark" branded shirt for about $100. I wish I'd gone to Costco instead...."Confusion" will be my epitaph
