Nick Faldo, who has played just six tournaments this year and not made a halfway cut in any of them, has been paired with Tiger Woods in the first two rounds of the Open championship at Hoylake on Thursday and Friday.
Between them the two players have lifted the Claret Jug five times – Faldo in 1987, 1990 and 1992, Woods in 2000 and again last year.
