Fashion label Pringle received an unexpected plug from 1987 Open champion Nick Faldo at St Andrews when he produced the pullover he wore at Muirfield that year.

He halted on the bridge on the 18th fairway on the Old Course and posed for photographers before completing what looks like his final round in a Championship.

Playing partners Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler put their arms around him to mark the occasion. “Still fits after 30 years,” remarked Sir Nick.
