Greg Norman's comments on Jamal Khashoggi killing spark backlash from murdered journalist's fiance

The fiancée of late Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi has condemned Australian golf great Greg Norman's comments about the Saudi regime after he said "we've all made mistakes" when asked about the killing of the journalist.

"Would you say that if it was your loved one? How can we go forward when those who ordered the murder are still unpunished, and continue to try to buy back their legitimacy?" Ms Cengiz said.

"We should not fall for their wealth and lies, and lose our morals and common humanity.

"We should all be insisting on the truth and justice; only then can we look forward with hope and dignity."

boycotts with respect to play in South Africa during that time. It comes as no surprise his narcissism extends to excusing horrific murder to justify playing in S. Arabia.

No, that's what you say after you make a wrong turn while driving, not after murdering someone with a bone saw.
