Sir Nick Faldo rolled back the years to lead his quartet to victory as the star-studded R&A Celebration of Champions started Open week in style at St Andrews.
Ten teams, featuring former Champions and top players from the women’s, amateur and disability game, battled it out across holes 1, 2, 17 and 18 and provided no shortage of entertainment and quality for the sizeable Monday crowd on the Old Course.
And the Faldo-led fourball, also including fellow St Andrews champions Louis Oosthuizen, Zach Johnson and John Daly, claimed the honours on 6-under after starting with a brace of birdies and repeating the feat on the 18th, the best two scores on a hole counting towards a team’s total.
Reunited with caddy Fanny Sunesson, who was on the bag when Faldo won The 119th Open here in 1990, this proved another afternoon to remember for the 64-year-old on a day which saw golfing royalty descend on St Andrews, Jack Nicklaus putting the icing on the cake by joining Team Woods’ journey up the 18th.
