David Duval faced a challenging return to competitive golf at the 2004 US Open held at Shinnecock Hills. After an absence of seven months, he recorded scores of 83 and 82, totaling 25 over par, missing the cut by 20 shots. Once a world number one, Duval's performance marked a notable decline in his career, having not played a PGA Tour event earlier that year due to injuries and lack of confidence. This outing at Shinnecock was a significant moment in his career narrative, as he had only one major victory at The Open Championship in 2001. He wouldn't make the cut in another major until the 2006 US Open.
