Sir Nick Faldo Competing For His Fourth Open Championship in 1993 | Best Of
Спорт
Defending The Open Championship is an achievement that few players have achieved over the past 100 years - and winning the Claret Jug doesn't guarantee a good performance in the following year's Championship.
In 1992, Sir Nick Faldo won his third Open title. A year later Faldo arrived at Royal St George's for The 122nd Open in a bid to regain the title.
The Englishman battled to get himself within touching distance of winning a fourth Open but was narrowly beaten by eventual champion Greg Norman.
These are the best moments from Sir Nick's spirited title defence from 1993.

Where would you place Sir Nick Faldo on a list of best Open Champions of all-time?

Pretty high - behind Watson, Nicklaus, Seve, Woods and Palmer. Never saw Palmer so he’s a nostalgia pick for making the Open the worldwide event it is.
What a guy! Loved to see the relationship he had with his caddy as well!
Such a competitor ...
Nothing better than watching Faldo strike an iron 🔥
One of the rare times in a major that Faldo lost to Greg Norman.

@MrAJR76 Faldo destroyed Norman in the open in 90....then 96. When they got paired together Norman just crumbled

Okay, so that’s twice. How about the ‘93 USPGA? Or the ‘83 World Matchplay?

@@MrAJR76 Well, Faldo shot 4 rounds in the 60's and missed the playoff by one shot at the '93 USPGA - Norman lost in the playoff so neither man won. In the '83 matchplay, Faldo lost on the 34th hole in the 36 hole final. A very close comp
Loving this comp as missed the early rounds but could be edited round by round

Correct. The editing, or complete lack of, jumps between all rounds and is incoherent in presenting SNF's '93 campaign. No surprise the Open video makers took short cuts, event though IMG video is compiled round by round.
And langer was close as well
Interesting how the melts at the R&A who put these rushed and jumbled compilations together remove critical comments. Sequence the clips so the shots make sense; shouldn't be hard as IMG has the videos logged according to rounds. Just requires effort and thought...
No power swing here more like sloppy slow smooth swing

SNF's swing had virtually no wasted motion; it was highly efficient, which his prime record is a testament to. His driver swing speed was 110/112mph, he was as long as the majority of his competitors in that era.

With equipment back then power was less impactful…..precision was where it was at…. And Faldo was as good as it gets

@@andyw2001 excuse me ☝️. I have played golf since 1978 and when it comes to equipment the irons are the same and the swing speed you put on a wooden driver is like holding a modern spoon in your hand if not smaller so no swingspeed was possible cause the head was a lot smaller. What has changed is the philosophy of golf not the possibility of hitting with higher swing speed. Just look at him! That’s why he has not played in 20 years his game is out of touch!
