Clay Court tennis championship Sunday 7-5, 6-3. MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) -Steady Nick Faldo, an Englishman adopted by the Scottish galleries, won the title he most wanted Sunday when American Paul Azinger bogeyed the last two holes and handed him the 116th British Open. Faldo, playing in front of Azinger, shot 18 straight pars and was in the clubhouse with the ball in his pocket when the pro-British gallery saluted the young American's closing bogey with a cheer that resounded through the chilly, misty drizzle. "I was sitting between two television sets but I couldn't watch. The crowd told me what happened," said Faldo, who lives in a suburb of London.

Azinger, who had a three-shot lead at the turn, had led since taking the lead on Friday's second round until he hit his drive into a fairway bunker and took four strokes to reach the 550-yard par-five 17th hole. He two-putted for a bogey six to fall into a tie with Faldo. Then he missed a 25-foot par putt on the 18th after hitting his second shot into a trap and the tournament was Faldo's. "When I started off, as a kid on the putting green, it was always, 'This putt's to win the Open," said Faldo, who celebrated his 30th birthday Saturday. Faldo, who had finished eighth or better in four of the last five British Opens, restored the faith of the oft-disappointed British golf fans with his closing round of 71 over Muirfield's mist-shrouded links.

He won the world's oldest and most coveted golf title by a single stroke at 279, five shots under par. The 27-year-old Azinger, leading money winner on the American-tour, fell back into a tie for second' at 280 with Rodger Davis of Australia with his final round total of 73 in his first British who once left pro golf for an 111. fated business venture, had a final- round 69.

"It doesn't affect me," the 26-year-old left-hander said before the game. "Perhaps someday, but right now I kind of found a niche. I felt good swinging the bat."
