LONDON (Reuters) - If Rory McIlroy thought he was having a bad day at the British Open on Thursday, spare a thought for former champion and world number one David Duval, who ended his first round 19 over par.

While McIlroy began abysmally with a quadruple bogey eight at the first, American Duval, winner in 2001, actually birdied the opening two holes at Royal Portrush.
