ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – As anniversaries go, it was lost in the emotions of Tom Watson’s 40th British Open and Nick Faldo’s eighth and final walk across the Swilcan Bridge.
But it was a personal achievement that registered with David Duval, as well it should have. It is the 20th anniversary of his first British Open and his fifth start at the home of golf. “That’s a pretty cool thing,” he said.
There was pride in his voice; again, as there should have been.
