NICK FALDO MADE A BIRDIE AT THE 18 TH IN THE SECOND ROUND, PERHAPS HIS FINAL ROUND IN COMPETITION IN THE UK
One of the star attractions of this summer’s Senior Open was Sir Nick Faldo, playing in perhaps his final ever tournament on UK soil the threetime Open Champion sadly missed the cut. Short of tournament form for many years due to his television commitments it was no surprise that the former world number one didn’t contend, but he did show several encouraging signs over the first two days. The 1990 Open Champion at <strong>St</strong> <strong>Andrews</strong> made a storming start to the championship, making birdies at the third, fifth, sixth and tenth to feature high on the leaderboard halfway through his first round. But a disastrous back nine saw him finish with a 76 after making a double bogey on 11 and a quadruple bogey on the 17 th . With the cut hovering around level par and +1 it was essential Faldo went reasonably low in the second round. After a bogey on the first he made birdies at 3 of the next 7 holes to get to +2, but once again a run of terrible scores on the back nine put paid to his hopes of making the cut. There was, however, in a very ‘Jack Nicklaus’ kind of way, a fairytale finish with a birdie at the 18 th hole. His final hole, perhaps, in a tournament on UK soil. It was a sad finale to a career which has given many people worldwide and in particular in the UK a lot of joy. Faldo was understandably gutted after his second round: “It’s very disappointing, I just hit some bad shots at bad times, I thought I could make the cut, but two really bad swings on 11 and 17 cost me.” Sir Nick was visibly distraught at the outcome of his two rounds, so I cut the interview short out of respect for this giant of the game. It just goes to show that no matter what the age, once you have done it at the highest level you continue to believe you can do it, and when it dawns that isn’t possible it hurts, deeply.
