Nick Faldo believes Rory McIlroy is on course to go down in history as the greatest European golfer of all-time and hinted a victory for the newest member of the sport’s Grand Slam club in this week’s Open Championship at Portrush could end the debate.
Englishman Faldo’s six major titles were made up of three Masters green jackets and three wins at The Open between 1989 and 1996, with five-time major winner McIlroy looking to join him on that number by winning this year’s Open on home soil at Portrush this week.
