The US PGA champion said it would be no shock to see his close friend in contention at the Open Championship, but Nick Faldo disagreed
As Justin Thomas insisted it would be no shock to seein contention at the Open Championship, the three-time winner Nick Faldo wrote off the prospect of a 16th major success for the 46-year-old Woods at St Andrews. Faldo even floated the idea of this Open bringing the curtain down on the American’s celebrated career.
Justin Thomas tees off on the 14th during his practice round with Tiger Woods on the Old Course at St Andrews.“Even if Tiger was fit and strong, he doesn’t play much, and these kids [the world’s top players] are young and strong. Who knows what we’re going to get from Tiger, where he mentally is and what he’s thinking.
What looked like a comfortable win proved anything but, though, the world No 11 dropping three shots in the space of four holes from the sixth to fall one behind fellow American Kurt Kitayama heading into the back nine. Kitayama’s bogey on the 17th dropped him back into a share of the lead and a closing par completed a superb 66 to set what looked a testing clubhouse target of six under at the Renaissance Club.
