Norman's stolen golf clubs are returned

Greg Norman got his golf clubs back just in time for the Open.

The man who apparently stole two sets of clubs from Norman's garage last Saturday, returned them when he realized they were the Australian's tournament clubs, police said.

"I don't think he knew at the time he'd stolen THE tournament clubs of Greg Norman," Jupiter Island Police Officer Bill Smith said. "He wasn't a golfer."

James Jankowski, 22, of Hobe Sound, was arrested Wednesday night and charged with grand theft and violation of probation for swiping the custom-made Cobra clubs. Police said he had done work on Norman's roof about a week earlier.

The clubs were returned to Norman before he left Tuesday for Scotland to prepare for the Open, Smith said.

"(Jankowski) panicked and brought them back," Smith said.

Norman said in a statement he was "very pleased to get my tournament clubs back."

Jankowski remained jailed Thursday without bond in the Martin County Jail.
