Episode notes

One of the greatest golfers of all time, Sir Nick Faldo showcased talent and dedication in equal measure throughout his career, arguably like nobody else in the game's history.

Having taken a huge risk to rebuild his swing in the middle of an already successful career, Faldo knows about hard work, and what it takes to win The Open Championship. But it certainly didn't come easy for him, despite playing in his first Open just five years after taking up the game.

In this brand new three-part documentary, hear from Sir Nick Faldo, his former coach David Leadbetter and former caddie Fanny Sunesson, in an exploration of what has made the legendary figure tick, and the long road he took to becoming Champion Golfer of the Year. Listen to the first of three parts here, only on The Open Podcasts.
