ST ANDREWS, Scotland — Former champion David Duval is a part-time golfer these days and admits it is "not a fair fight" taking on the world's best but he punched well above his weight in the British Open third round on Sunday.
The 43-year-old American's commitments as a commentator with the Golf Channel have restricted his appearances on the U.S. PGA Tour this season to four tournaments, and he has missed the cut in three of them.
Duval, though, gave a glimpse of the special talents that took him to the top of the world rankings in 1999 by reeling off seven birdies in ideal scoring conditions at St Andrews.
