Old DD looked like he was going to make a comeback this year but it just did not happen. He must have lost the hunger to win. Look at Tiger...he want's to bash everyone's brains in in everything he does competitively (including video games).
DD is going to need some of what Tiger has running through his veins, if he ever wants to return to winning form!

Chris Baldwin,
I do hope that you take the time to read the replies to your article in the same as I and others have read, or should I say endured your piece.
To beleive a parallel exists between Duval and Tyson is incredulous and I can't fathom why your editor would allow this pitiful excuse for journalism to see the light of day. You could not wish to find two athletes who differ in personal history, integrity and motives. So you see some correlation between a man who constatntly courts trouble, who is accused of rape, violence, squandering vast sums of money and having his face tattooed with Duval? Let's see, because David is struggling and because he's put a little weight back on, he's fair game for what is baseless prejudice on your behalf? If you had said Daly and not Duval then I could possibly understand your point, but this?
Duval has shown us how to win gracefully (British Open speech?) and now shows kids how to conduct themselves when the chips are down, not an altogther heneous trait? Oh yes, shame on Duval for being a doting family man, maybe he should pop into vegas, blow a few bucks and find a prostitute?
Chris, your article, if you're serious, is pathetic. I could go on, but I won't unless you'd like to offer some assemblence of an argument?
Yours,
Stuart.

The man has earned the right to "hang on" as long as he feels is necessary. He has done nothing to disgrace his profession or himself. You, on the other hand, disgrace yourself and enhances the image of your profession being the sleaziest...right behind politicians and lawyers.
Get over yourself.

anyone who has played golf knows how fine is the line between success and mediocrity. duval is battling hard, to recover what was once natural, easy, and which he acknowledges he took for granted. now dude writes article that gives no perspective, only personal attack. obviously has no clue to essence of the battle. West Coast Bureau Chief? of what? wow.

As the saying goes..."better a has been than a never was". Perhaps you should change your name to Chris Baldlose. A win(ner) you aint.

Thanks for the great article chris. Nice picture by the way.
You do know that you write for Travelgolf.com right? Just becuase you played mini-golf last night does not mean you know what life is like on tour. Take you double digit handicap to you local muni and try to break 90.

Wow, did Duval bang your girlfriend? I can't understand the bitter tone of this article. Sure he is washed up, but why do you care if other people root for him or if he is really dedicated to his comeback? Let the guy approach it his own way and ignore him unless he does something truly worthy of writing about. This article comes across as petty and vindictive.

Is this web site for real? Who are these unknown writers? Has anyone ever heard of Chris Baldinger, Wolf Blitzer and Tim McDougal? This is fun, kind of like an April Fool's edition newspaper you put out in junior high.

Funny you should mention junior high...
