== Career == Norquist was born in Portland, Oregon.
Norquist turned professional relatively late at the age of 26. He played most of his tournament golf in Asia, predominantly on the Asian Tour where he won five titles,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020211/ncr3.htm |title=26 Asian PGA winners for Hero Honda Masters |newspaper=The Tribune (India) |date=February 10, 2002 |accessdate=June 15, 2010}}</ref> and later on the Japan Golf Tour. His five wins on the Asian Tour are the most for an American. His biggest win came in 1999 at the European Tour co-sanctioned Benson and Hedges Malaysian Open, which gave him a two-year exemption on that tour.
Norquist maintained his links with the Asian Tour and was appointed senior vice president in 2006.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2006/12/22/sports/16390520&sec=sports |title=Indian golfer’s brilliance highlights Asian Tour season |newspaper=The Star (Malaysia) |date=December 22, 2006 |accessdate=June 15, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110622034616/http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=%2F2006%2F12%2F22%2Fsports%2F16390520&sec=sports |archivedate=June 22, 2011 }}</ref>
