St Andrews chiefs have caved on the renovation work made to the iconic Swilcan Bridge after Sir Nick Faldo led a strong backlash against the changes to the historic Old Course feature.

Estimated to be around 700 years old, the Swilcan Bridge represents the most famous photo opportunity in golf and is placed on arguably the most hallowed turf in the sport.
