Faldo - up at the crack of dawn.
OPEN IS HARD TO STOMACH FOR FALDO
Nick Faldo found himself down at a garage at the crack of dawn today looking
for something to settle an upset stomach.
The Open champion here in 1990 managed to pull himself together and came in
with a two under par 70 and a total of 213.
"I felt lousy as last night's dinner decided to go south," he said.
"I was not expecting 70 at all as I was on about 50% power. So I am really
pleased.
"I was always going to battle on, though.
"It is the Open and I have a couple of weeks off after it, so I am draining
the energy batteries to the limit."
Faldo admitted the days of winning the Open have gone.
"Fifteen years ago I was in the flow," he said. "I was just here to play
golf and nothing else.
"There were no problems I had to think about.
"Everything was easy. There wasn't a problem.
"Now I have got to think about it. Mentally I am shot.
"But I am out there playing because I still love it. You just want to hit the
best possible shot."
