Editing David Duval (section)

===Struggles===
After his Open Championship win, Duval entered a downward spiral in form that saw him drop to 80th on the money list in [[2002 PGA Tour|2002]] and 211th in [[2003 PGA Tour|2003]], prompting an extended break from the game. Numerous reasons have been postulated for the decline, including back, wrist and shoulder problems, personal difficulties and a form of [[vertigo (medical)|vertigo]]. Duval has not won a tournament on the PGA Tour since his Open Championship victory in 2001. His last worldwide win was the [[Dunlop Phoenix Tournament]] in November 2001 on his 30th birthday. His 30s proved to be much less lucrative on the golf course.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.golftoday.co.uk/news/yeartodate/news03/duval8.html |title=No sign to end of David Duval's slump |publisher=Golf Today |access-date=April 3, 2013}}</ref>

Many commentators believed Duval's career to be over but he returned to golf at the [[U.S. Open (golf)|U.S. Open]] in [[2004 U.S. Open (golf)|2004]], where he shot 25 over par and missed the cut. Duval struggled with his best results until 2009 being a T-13 at the Deutsche Bank Championship in [[2004 PGA Tour|2004]] and a T-16 at the U.S. Open in [[2006 U.S. Open (golf)|2006]]. He made the cut in only one PGA Tour event in [[2005 PGA Tour|2005]] but did finish in the top ten at the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan.
