Faldo and a new beauty? That's par for the course

20 July 2007
But while he might struggle to find the birdies, three-times Open champion Nick Faldo still has no problem attracting the ladies.
The latest of the many women in the multi-millionaire's life is Turkish-born Hulya Parta.
Miss Parta offers Faldo a drink before he departs ...
And here's a kiss for luck
She was there to wish him luck at Carnoustie as he began his second round in this year's Open.
Before he teed off, she stretched up to plant a lingering kiss on his lips.
And it seemed to provide him with inspiration as he went round in 73 - six strokes fewer than on Thursday even if it wasn't enough to help him avoid the cut before the third round.
Married three times and with a string of unsuccessful relationships and affairs behind him, Faldo will be hoping for better luck with brunette Miss Parta.
His chequered love life has proved expensive. When he divorced his second wife, Gill
Bennett, she negotiated a £7million settlement.
They parted in 1995 when Faldo began a relationship with 20-year-old golfing student Brenna Cepelak. That affair lasted three years -until Faldo met Swiss PR consultant Valerie Bercher.
In revenge, Miss Cepelak took a golf club to his prized £200,000 Porsche, causing £10,000 of damage.
Faldo went on to wed Miss Bercher, declaring: 'This one is going to last.' But in May last year, he announced their five-year marriage was over.
