Duval's round-by-round results

Rd. Score Position Eagles Birdies Pars Bogeys Others Scorecard 2 66 (5 under) T94 1 5 11 0 1 Scorecard Had it not been for an unfortunate double bogey on the 17th (his eighth), Duval might have made the cut because he put together a solid round from that point on. Instead, he missed it by three. 1 75 (4 over) T140 0 1 12 5 0 Scorecard Not the start he was looking for after tying for second at the U.S. Open. He will need to go low on Friday -- and improve his greens in regulation percentage (he only hit 50 percent in the first round) -- to make the cut at TPC Deere Run.
