The Panasonic European Open from Sunningdale Golf Club
Some say he should have won all four major titles this year - he won only one, the Open Championship at Turnberry. Australian GREG NORMAN , one of the longest hitters in the game, has dominated golf since April and he could add this top prize to the already enormous sum he has won this year.

When he's looked through the 'viewing valve' it bugs him even more because it seems that 'baddies' can do 'it' too! What is 'it'? Whizz is just showing Bug how to do 'it' when the Earth Search interrupts them. In the globe today is something that looks 'good enough to eat', but what does it fit into? (R)

Jessye Norman
I can remember ever being a person who wasn't trying to stand up and sing somewhere ... so many times my father said, 'You can do anything you want, but to have someone say "That's good" you have to work twice as hard as the person next to you.
Jessye Norman is one of the most successful recording artists alive, and her concert and opera performances are guaranteed full houses all over Europe and America.
Her reputation is based on a voice remarkable for its beauty and range, and on an almost unrivalled stage presence. She performs everything from Purcell to
Berg, from romantic opera to Broadway standards.
Tonight Omnibus follows
Jessye to the deep south of America, where she was bom, to Washington where she studied music, to Harlem for an impromptu performance for ballet students, and to London,
Paris and New York to hear her sing oratorio, opera, spirituals and in concert. Film editors JOHN STRICKLAND
