Faldo returns to match play

By
ST. SIMONS ISLAND - Nick Faldo has won more Ryder Cup points than any European in history. Now he gets another chance at team match play with a different set of teammates and a more relaxed atmosphere. <br> <br> Faldo will join eleven other players from the ``Rest of the World&#39;&#39; who will try to beat the Americans in the UBS Warburg Cup, a three-day competition that starts tomorrow on the Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club. <br> <br> Faldo said it&#39;s an event that gets the old competitive juices flowing. <br> <br> The UBS Warburg Cup is patterned after the Ryder Cup. Each team has six players from the 40-49 age group and six players who are 50-and-over. <br> <br> Arnold Palmer and South Africa&#39;s Gary Player return as playing captains. A year ago, Palmer defeated Player as the United States went on to a 12 1/2-11 1/2 victory at Kiawah Island. <br> <br> They are expected to play again in Sunday&#39;s singles. Curtis Strange and Sam Torrance, the Ryder Cup captains from The Belfry, are also expected to play each other. <br> <br> While Faldo hasn&#39;t played in a Ryder Cup since 1997, he went 2-0-1 at the UBS Warburg Cup last year and is coming off a dramatic loss at the World Match Play Championship in England, losing a 43-hole match to Michael Campbell.
