Nice to see him come in comfortably under the cut line. 71/69 are both very decent scores at Riviera.

I hope he does well on the weekend. It's a course he knows well.

Cheers, Allan

It´s been loooooong since i last heard something about him.

He's healthy. He is getting back into golf and his swing is looking good. Working with his teacher that he was successful with from college - not Puggy. He'll get better but he's happy regardless.

I always root for DD, but I'm afraid he has gone the same route as Chip Beck and Ian Baker Finch.

Sadly, I agree with you. We have always rooted for DD since his family is from Schenectady, NY, and his grandfather, "Hap" Duval was a lifetime member of the PGA. His Dad, Bob, grew up in Schectady, and played with and against Ron Philo in their junior golf days (Ron is the father of Laura Diaz, the LPGA star, and ran a driving range in Scotia). My son and I watched David play at the Seven Oaks Golf Course at Colgate University when he was on the Georgia Tech team and the NCAA Eastern Regionals were held there. DD did well, and the team won, but Jimmy Johnson was the medalist for the team in that event. David has been quoted as saying that he likes "being a country club golfer"---playing in a cart, play 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours and then go home. He has lost his desire----"the fire in the belly".

If this is true he should give up his spot on the tour to a younger guy who needs the money and wants to excel on tour.

I'm down to a 10 handicap. At this rate, I'll get to scratch at 90 years old!

I couldn't agree more. Sounds like he'll likely be long gone after this year, so he'll have all that "country club" golf he wants.

I agree with you. Right now, David is trying to "hang in there". He is financially well off, I believe, so he is not doing it for the money to support his family.

Why should he... he's earned the right to be there, and this is his last exemption. If he didn't want to be out there, I doubt he would be using the exemption. If he has lost the "fire in his belly", then he will find out by the end of the season.

As for DD, I'm glad that he's very happy and has a good life at home, regardless of how he is playing.

Cheers, Allan

It's always interesting to me to look at his score cards (since you never actually see him on televised coverage). He seems to play 13 or 14 holes very well and goes AWOL on the remainder.

Just like me! Maybe when he figures it out, I will too.

There was a decent interview with him on the Golf Channel last night... He said the biggest key for him was regaining his confidence.

He tees off today at 12:51PM at Innisbrook. I hope he plays well.

He didn't play well on Friday. Blew up on the back and missed the cut. He started off 1 over - went down and then up to 6 over.

He made _some_ pretty impressive shots, though.

Dave.

    • On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while. 
    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
