Greg Norman Leads The British Open?

This would qualify as the most unlikely event of the season in sports -- and that's just him leading through 2 rounds, let alone winning the thing.

Let's not get carried away here: Even if Norman wins the British Open, it wouldn't eclipse the Giants beating the Patriots in the Super Bowl. (It would eclipse Tiger winning the US Open.)

Middle-aged sportswriters and pundits freaking out over this, please consider that when Norman last won the British Open, any sports fan under the age of 25 would have no recollection.

I'm not sure what your point is on this:

"Middle-aged sportswriters and pundits freaking out over this, please consider that when Norman last won the British Open, any sports fan under the age of 25 would have no recollection."

Is it that it is not a big deal since people under 25 can't remember when he last won? Or is it that the sportswriters shouldn't make a big deal because their target audience doesn't remember when he was good?

Both seem ridiculous, so there has to be something else.
