For both Humphrey and Duncan, the pressure is on to make a significant return after their extended break from the tournament. Current statistics for both golfers will be relevant as they aim to make impactful performances that could change the trajectory of their careers.
The anticipation doesn’t end with Humphrey and Duncan.
