Ex-golfer slams 'struggling' UK as he gushes over pal Trump

- BY CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN US Editor

SIR Nick Faldo reckons Britain is going downhill but he loves the quality of life in the US under his golfing buddy Donald Trump.

The multimillionaire-golfer-turned-farmer revealed he has no plans to return to the UK, saying a stroll around his old Berkshire stomping ground convinced him to stay put.

He said: "We walked down Eton High Street because we used to live near there and it's looking a bit rough.

"You know, things have gone down. The shops are closing, there's boarded-up windows and I'm disappointed to see that the country is struggling, to be honest. And, I mean, that's a shame."

The 67-year-old six-time major winner then told of his friendship with President Trump before praising his adopted America, where he lives with his fourth wife, Lindsay De Marco, on a 125-acre farm in Montana.

Lindsay, a former topless dancer now on her seventh marriage, is an ardent fan of the controversial president, often posting her support of him on the couple's Instagram page.
