The Open golf star suffers a meltdown and takes FOUR shots to escape a bunker and cards 10 at hole No4 at Royal Portrush
The South African went out of bounds from the tee on the fourth hole in the second round of The 153rd Open.
So that saw him take three off the tee.
He then hit his third stroke into a fairway bunker.
The poor fellow needed four attempts to escape the sand, when he eventually found the fairway.
But he came up short and left on the approach to the green to find the rough and then chipped on before tapping in a simple putt.
So Norris ended up taking TEN strokes on the par 4.
He was +1 for the tournament before starting the hole.
He walked off the green at +7 and in serious danger of missing the cut.
But somehow he did recover his composure and went on to birdie the next hole.
Golf fans watching the action unfold, though, took to social media with their reaction to the SEXTUPLE bogey.
One wrote: "If this isn't the most Open Championship coded thing ever then I'd be hard pressed to find what is. I present Shaun Norris's scorecard from the 4th hole."
Another said: "From level par to 6 over in the blink of an eye. Links golf in a nutshell."
Tiger Woods famously hit an atrocious ten at the 2020 Masters - the worst score of his career.
The American superstar dumped three balls in the water at the 155-yard par 3 12th.

Golf betting tips: Wyndham Championship 2025 preview
Ron Wood's tips: Bet 1: 1pt win Aaron Rai @ 25/1 with bet365 Bet 2: 1pt win Lucas Glover @ 35/1 with bet365 Bet 3: 1pt win Emiliano Grillo @ 70/1 with bet365 Why Aaron Rai can win the Wyndham Championship Well, we know Rai can win this tournament as he did so last year. His form this season isn't so good but he made the cut at all four majors, most recently finishing 34th at The Open, compared with 75th before his Wyndham Championship success in 2024. Englishman Rai isn't the biggest hitter but he's an accurate driver, his approach play is decent and his putting is fine. Why Lucas Glover can win the Wyndham Championship Glover is another previous winner of this tournament, having lifted the trophy in 2023. He missed the cut last year but has been in form lately, finishing in ties for ninth at the Travelers, fifth at the John Deere Classic and 23rd at The Open. The American's game is much the same as Rai's, being an accurate rather than a long driver, and at least reliable in all other areas. Why Emiliano Grillo can win the Wyndham Championship Grillo has made no impression in two previous starts in this tournament, but he is a two-time PGA Tour winner and was second in this month's John Deere Classic. The Argentinian can drive accurately, his approach play is decent and he's a fair putter, ticking enough boxes to be of interest at big odds. Wyndham Championship – bet365 outright odds (Each-way 1/4 odds, five places; alternative prices and place terms also available) Matt Fitzpatrick 18/1 Aaron Rai 22/1 Ben Griffin 22/1 Keegan Bradley 25/1 Hideki Matsuyama 30/1 Robert MacIntyre 30/1 Si Woo Kim 30/1 35/1 bar (odds correct at time of writing) Already used the bet365 sign-up offer? Check out the latest free bets and the UK's best betting sites Course overview Sedgefield Country Club has small and undulating greens. This course plays to driving accuracy over power and the weather might not be perfect this week. Still, the past three Wyndham Championship winners have shot 18 under par or better. Last year's Wyndham Championship Max Greyserman led by four shots with five holes to play, but made a mess of the run-in. Aaron Rai shot a final-round 64 to win for the first time on the PGA Tour, by two strokes from Greyserman. Highest-ranked players in the Wyndham Championship field 7. Keegan Bradley 12.

Neville urging fans of EFL clubs to back local small businesses
Neville has teamed up with Sage, Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL, on a new UK-wide campaign to champion local businesses, with fans across all 72 EFL clubs invited to nominate the matchday heroes in their community. Three winning businesses will have the chance to win bespoke club partnerships with the aim to gain exposure and drive growth. Additional finalists will receive business grants from Sage and promotional opportunities at EFL matches. 'Local businesses thrive on matchdays,' Neville said. 'Small businesses know how important football clubs are and clubs know fans need hospitality and service on those days. They need the local businesses to still be there to support the fanbase. 'A football club can never forget where it has come from, that is one of my constant messages. It needs to be the beating heart of a community and sit there to help people, support people, be the release, the energy, the life, the laugh. 'There are very few things in life that make your veins pop out like when your team score a goal or make you as angry as when your team lose. 'That emotion and feeling is absolutely critical.' Neville, who represented Manchester United on 602 occasions between 1992 and 2011, has since turned his hand to various entrepreneurial enterprises alongside his award-winning punditry with Sky Sports. He co-owns League Two outfit Salford City with some of his 'Class of 92' teammates and has a lifelong insight into how crucial football clubs are to their surrounding small businesses, and vice-versa. 'Growing up in Bury, being an owner of Salford and supporting (Manchester) United, I have seen the importance of football to local towns, cities, communities and local businesses at all levels,' he said. 'Manchester United not being in Europe this year has a massive impact on the city of Manchester. Manchester United doing well and City doing well has a huge impact on the city. It's the same with Salford, the same with Bury. 'Football clubs are not just important economically, they are important for the spirit in the city, the feeling of energy. 'That can largely be defined sometimes by how the football team is doing. It has such an impact on the local community.' The 85-cap England international is working with Sage to spotlight the vital role of small businesses in the EFL ecosystem, a partnership he is delighted to be a part of. 'It's hard work setting up a small business,' he added. 'Everyone does it with great enthusiasm and passion, I've done it myself here in Manchester, but you need systems, you need processes, I call it a defence. 'The nuts and bolts is making sure your defence is looked after and you're not conceding goals. 'Small businesses need that more than ever in what is a challenging time to operate and Sage do great work helping with that.' Gary Neville is encouraging fans to celebrate the businesses behind the badge on behalf of Sage, the Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL.
