Faldo receives knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II

WINDSOR, England(AP) — Nick Faldo has been knighted by Queen
Elizabeth II for a career in which he won six majors and
captained Europe’s Ryder Cup team.

Faldo can call himself “Sir Nick Faldo” following the ceremony
at Windsor Castle. He was awarded the honor for his services to
the sport.

Faldo says he “had dreams as a young boy of being a golfer and
winning tournaments, but you don’t dream of this.”

The two-time European Order of Merit winner won three Masters
and three British Open titles. He is just the second
professional golfer to be knighted after Henry Cotton in 1988.
