Having started the Scottish Open as plain Nick Faldo the six-time major winner ended it on Friday as Sir Nick.
Between the first and second rounds the European Tour established there was no need to wait for Faldo's investiture to acknowledge the knighthood he received last month.
Last year's Ryder Cup captain was playing his first event since the Hong Kong Open eight months ago and missed the halfway cut on two over par following rounds of 71 and 73.
Faldo is also in the field for The Open at Turnberry next week.
