Faldo's good run comes to abrupt end
13 April 2012
Nick Faldo's recent resurgence came to an abrupt end in the second round of the Carlsberg Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur today.
The six-times major winner had finished 10th, sixth and third in his last three events and looked as if he was edging closer to his first European Tour victory since 1994.
A first-round 68 at Royal Selangor confirmed that but hopes of even making the cut were dashed today.
Faldo went out in five-over-par 40, and his misery was compounded when he double-bogeyed the final hole for a 79.
His five over half-way total of 147 saw him well outside the half-way cut and Faldo him 17 shots off the lead held by Spain's Miguel Angel Martin.
