Nick Faldo believes he still has the ability to win another major, but admits he dramatically needs to improve his inconsistent form.

Speaking before the Australian Open at the Kingston Heath course in Melbourne, the three-time Open and US Masters champion said: "It is terribly frustrating. I know I can do so much better."

"It's very depressing but I'm not suicidal...yet."

Despite falling out of the top 100 in the world ranking, Faldo has not given up all hopes on another big title.

"It's a long road back to winning a major," he said.

Thinking player's course

"Maybe things will turn around next year if I start playing well and get back on the leaderboard."

The Kingston Heath course, described by Faldo as a "thinking player's" course could suit his style of golf perfectly.

"There are a lot of corners to play across, down slopes, up slopes," he said.

"It is important to position the ball well to give yourself half a chance to make birdies. A few pars on the right holes here will be a good score."
