On This Day in Golf History:

July 22, 2001 - David Duval won his only major championship when he took The Open at Royal Lytham St. Annes in England, winning the tournament by three strokes after posting a final round (67). Duval had four great chances at the Masters in Augusta, two at the U.S. Open and one in The Open in 2000 before he broke through with the win. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
