In Johannesburg, the city where he was born and raised, Shaun Norris is close to his first career win on the DP World Tour of golf. In South Africa, where he hasn't won for 11 years, with a total of 193 (64 62 67, -23) hits, Norris remained at the top of the Steyn City Championship standings.

On the course of The Club at Steyn City (par 72), the German Matti Schmid is third with 198 (-18).

He has lost more ground, however, Nino Bertasio. The best among the Azzurri, he slipped from seventh to 14th position with 204 (64 69 71, -12). The Brescia player has made four birdies, paying dearly for a bogey and a double bogey. And he precedes in the ranking the Roman Andrea Pavan, 43 / o with 208 (71 67 70, -8). While he is 57 / o with 210 (69 69 72, -6) the Turin Edoardo Molinari. Norris - who in the palmarès boasts nine overall successes as a professional, between Japan Tour, Asian Tour and Sunshine Tour - in Johannesburg pursues the feat to dedicate to his brother-caddy, Kyle, and to his daughter born just a few weeks ago.

He is among the most successful sportsmen ever, as well as one of the richest in the world. When it comes to firsts Tiger Woods is always present: 15 majors won, 110 professional tournaments, the most successful golfer in the history of this sport. Statistics that explain why he managed to stay at the top of the world ranking for 683 weeks (of which 281 consecutive) and above all because in 2014 he became the first sportsman in the world to have broken the billion dollar barrier. Astronomical figure that also justifies the fact that Tiger Woods can afford a yacht like the Privacy, a real fairytale boat. And obviously we are talking about something that has cost a lot.

If you imagine a luxury yacht and some comfort on board, then Privacy has it. 48 meters long, with a total area of ​​600 square meters, this yacht was purchased by the golfer in 2004. Equipped with five cabins capable of accommodating a total of ten people, she also boasts four quarters for nine crew members. Tiger Woods usually calls it "my dinghy" even if everything looks like a dinghy: with a cruising speed of 18 knots, he also has a gym on board where the golfer keeps training. Woods, in fact, prefers to stay on this yacht during the tournaments held in New York.

With cherry wood interiors, Privacy also features an elevator for three people, a huge Jacuzzi, large enough to accommodate eight people, and the inevitable cinema room and corner bar. The extra something for this mega yacht is provided by the area that Tiger Woods wanted to be dedicated to scuba diving: this also explains the presence of a decompression chamber (inflatable) and an area dedicated to filling oxygen cylinders. The luxuries are also completed by three jet skis and two scooters for short shore excursions. Obviously, all of this has a price: Privacy cost 17 million euros and its annual maintenance amounts to 1.7 million euros.
