Niclas Fasth ahead of The Open

Six-time European Tour winner Niclas Fasth was among a team of European Callaway Tour staff to take on a ‘rest of the world’ team in a driving range dual at Formby Hall golf club Monday night.

The Swede hit the longest drive of the evening, a 285 yard carry against a headwind, as part of the matchplay challenge organised by Callaway Golf for a select group of spectators.

Today’s Golfer caught up with the 36-year-old after the challenge match to find out whether he’ll be changing any clubs in his bag to improve his chances of scoring low around the Royal Birkdale links in The Open Championship this week.
