Moments

1. 1951 Open Faulkner, six strokes clear after 54 holes, famously signed an autograph 'Open Champion 1951' before the final round (the R&A says a boy's father asked him to add the words).
2. 1951 Open Faulkner closed with a 74 and had to wait for Cerda to finish two shots back; he flew home that night and played in a fathers-v-sons cricket match at his son's school the next day.
3. 1949 Ryder Cup Trailing 1-3 after the foursomes, the USA won six of eight singles, including Dutch Harrison 8 & 7 over Max Faulkner and Jimmy Demaret 7 & 6 over Arthur Lees.
4. 1957 Ryder Cup Captain Dai Rees dropped Max Faulkner and Harry Weetman from the singles; Weetman said he would never play under Rees again and was suspended by the PGA for 12 months (lifted 17 April 1958).
