Two golfing greats said goodbye to the Open on Friday.
25 years after winning the Open Championships at St Andrews, Nick Faldo has said goodbye to his favourite tournament. Three of his six majors were won at the tournament.
Before bidding farewell for good, Faldo marked the occasion by wearing the exact same jumper that he wore when he claimed his victory in 1990.

He smiled waved, and became teary-eyed as he said goodbye to the British Open.

Tom Watson also played his last ever British Open on Friday. The 65-year-old, who claimed five Open Championships throughout his career, played out his final few holes in near-darkness before receiving a standing ovation from the crowds.
