He just gets better…

Right, this is getting silly. In his quest to become the funniest man on the planet (the great poses, the visual gags), Faldo took to the stage for last night’s opening ceremony, and let rip with an onslaught of majestic jokes. He quizzed Graeme McDowell which part of Ireland he was from [...]
