Had he lost he would have had to cough up a nonexistent $1,200; instead he ended up $800 ahead. That night, after dinner, he went out and gambled and won again, pitting his extraordinary hand-eye coordination against local pool hustlers. Norman has not forgotten the match-play skills he acquired during those early years. He is a three...
