HAINAN, China (AP) — China is turning to Greg Norman to help identify and coach its best players for the Olympics.

The China Golf Association has appointed Norman its advisory coach to the national golf team. The former No. 1 player in the world will help develop a golf program and identify China's best players for the 2016 Games in Brazil.
