As Tiger Woods often said, only two players truly owned their swing: Ben Hogan and Moe Norman. But while Hogan won nine major championships, Norman’s career never took off outside of his native Canada. In this episode we’ll revisit the life and career of one of golf’s most enigmatic figures. The late Norman was believed by many to be golf’s greatest ball-striker, but his unique nature, what would now likely be classified as autism, prevented him from greater success. We talk to people who knew and studied Norman and saw firsthand what set him apart, and ponder the level of success he might have enjoyed had he been better understood.
