Faldo and Duval suffer

Nick Faldo did not have the same excuse as David Duval today as they both failed to break 80 in the first round of the United States Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Duval’s 83, which left him joint last, came on his return from a break of over six months from golf and he described it as “an enormous victory” simply because he had achieved what he set out to do – namely, enjoy it.
