Six-time Major winning Nick Faldo today celebrates his 57th birthday.

Faldo, who won The Open in 1987, 1990 and 1992, will commence his third round at 3.05pm local time and at four over par.

Faldo is this week contesting his 36th Open Championship since making his debut in 1976 at Royal Birkdale.

However it has been a lean past few years for Faldo having missed the cut in golf’s oldest Major in his past five appearances.
