Faldo set for British Open adieu
Print Edition
Three-time British Open champion Nick Faldo will make his final appearance at the tournament at St Andrews this year.
The English golfer, who will turn 58 during the tournament in July, will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of his second British Open title at the Old Course in 1990.
“The Open and St Andrews will forever hold a significant place in my heart,” Faldo said. “My fondest moments on my journey with this great sport are woven with pictures and emotions in this setting. It all means a huge amount to me.”
Faldo also won the British Open at Muirfield in 1987 and 1992, in addition to three Masters titles at Augusta.
Five-time champion Tom Watson of the United States will also be making his final appearance at the tournament, the golf’s oldest major.
This year’s Open will also have a new grandstand area that seats nearly 10,000 spectators built around the first, 17th and 18th holes. That will take the total course seating to more than 21,000.
