Greg Norman weds in secret

Sydney - Australian golfing legend Greg Norman has tied the knot with his third wife, interior designer Kirsten Kutner, at a secret ceremony in the Caribbean, reports said Sunday.

Norman, 55, said the barefoot beach ceremony was on a private island with a small gathering of family and friends, in an interview with New Idea magazine widely previewed by the Australian press Sunday.

"To me she is the most beautiful woman in the world," Norman said of his new wife, 14 years his junior. "She looked stunning."

Mother-of-two Kutner added: "We just wanted something very intimate with just us and the family. It was very relaxed, a beautiful family reunion."

"I feel very proud to be by Greg's side, to take his name and to support him in every way I can."

Norman announced his engagement to Kutner, a long-time friend, just a month ago, and a friend told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper last weekend's nuptials had been deliberately low key, with little notice given to guests.

"It was a simple yet romantic ceremony," the friend said.

Norman split from tennis player Chris Evert, his second wife, at the end of 2009. His first marriage, to flight attendant Laura Andrassy, ended in 2007 after 25 years.

The Telegraph said Andrassy had been shocked by the secret wedding, saying she felt "sorry for him because it seems like unusual behaviour".

Norman, nicknamed the "Great White Shark", was formerly ranked number one in the world and won the British Open in 1986 and 1993.
