Just days after welcoming NFL legend Tom Brady to the course, Ballybunion Golf Club found themselves in the presence of more sporting royalty on Monday morning as they welcomed the one and only Sir Nick Faldo to town,
The 67-year-old English man is a six-time Major winner and can boast of being the most successful European player of all time in terms of Major championship wins. He is a three-time Masters winner at Augusta (1989, 1990 and 1996) and won the Claret Jug at The Open on three occasions too (1987, 1990 and 1992).
Widely regarded as one of the greatest to ever play the game, he was ranked number one in the world for a total of 97 weeks. He is a nine-time winner on the PGA Tour and won 30 times on the European Tour as well.
He came agonisingly close to winning the career grand slam too, finishing tied second at the 1992 PGA Championship and second at the US Open in 1988. He stands one ahead of Rory McIlroy (5) in terms of Major wins.
