‘Knackered’ Faldo struggles in US Open

A “knackered” Nick Faldo today matched his worst-ever score in 88 major championships, slumping to an 11-over par 81 at the start of the United States Open.

But he was far from alone in suffering at Shinnecock Hills before play was suspended for the day with over a third of the 156-strong field unable to complete their first rounds following a thunderstorm and then fog.
