Faldo cherishes his place in history

NICK FALDO can be curt and very much to the point.

And so he was yesterday at Augusta as he pondered the possibility of Tiger Woods this week becoming the first player in history to win a hat-trick of green jackets at the Masters.

"I hope he doesn't do it," Faldo exclaimed. "I'm being as nice as I can about this but I want the three of us Jack (Nicklaus), Tiger and myself to share the honour. I don't want it to be him."
