Move from 82nd to 31st electrifies golfing world: Duval, Hawaii and the PGA Tour
The last time I was so jacked about a guy moving from 82nd to 31st was … never. Yet here is Double D, complimenting eleven pars with seven birdies, firing the third-lowest score of the tournament, and getting the supportive juices flowing. Who doesn’t miss Double D? He was like the Marshal, all quiet and mysterious, taking the club back, playing the fade, strolling with a hint of saunter toward the green. If he does indeed make it back all the way in 2006, kudos go to a little-known columnist who predicted it first. And to think, he didn’t even birdie the accessible eighteenth, which might have put him into the top-20 for the first time in forever. Imagine what he’ll do when he gets on home turf in FLA!!

David Duval and Michelle Wie both had excellent last rounds after they no longer had a chance to win/make the cut. I would imagine that Michelle Wie takes some inspiration from the grit of David Duval. I think his exanple will help Wie stick with her plan in spite of a lack of wins/made cuts.

Interesting analogy, but David Duval was playing over the weekend while Michelle was at home eating lucky charms.

Jackson - it was chocolate...she said she wanted chocolate.
DD's good play moved him up 52 places in the OWGR from 492nd to 440...Tiger! Lookout behind you!

RM, I don't know how to find old blogs beyond what is shown on the list to the right, but I predicted this comeback back in November. Is this a case of great minds thinking alike or blind squirrels finding a nut?
What a story if Duval were to get all the way back to competitive again. It would probably be unprecendented.
