Having more than once fallen into the trap of thinking David Duval had turned his failing career around, I’m not about to shred up any newspapers and close down Main Street for his stellar 68 on Friday at the U.S. Open.
It was obviously an outstanding round for Duval, but the problem is, many of us have been sucked into this ray of hope that somehow Duval would re-capture the glory that made him the No. 1 golfer in the world. But in the end, we are let down.

David Duval
So, using past performance as a guide, my prediction for Duval, who starts the weekend six shots off the lead: He’ll shoot two rounds higher than 76. At least one in the 80s. Say 78-84.
Sorry DD fans, nothing personal. But Duval’s recent track record shows that a complete collapse is much more likely than an unbelievable triumph.
