THE DUVAL EFFECT REDUX

Only got whipped by 5 shots by Golf Icon & former Masters champ Gary Player. DD can build off that when he plays regular tour events down the road.

Well, in fairness... Player is in better shape.

Probably Ray Floyd too. Ray could play with a Chivas in his hand throughout the round and beat Duval.

New Texan said...

Still... Duval kicked the shit out of Charlie Coody!

If VJ gave him a shot a hole, it would have been a good match.

bocabandit said...

Pity Ted Purdy having to get paired with Coody. He'll probably be staring at the ceiling tonight wondering what he did in life to deserve that. It's got to be tough to stay on your game.

Please will somebody tell Mr. Duval something! This is less than pathetic. Maybe they could pair him with Coody next year. Larry Mize probably pocketed some Skins money today!

As I write this, Coody is 1 under through 6. He could catch Duval today! Should that happen, I would hope that would mean automatic, non-appealable banishment from the tour.

New Texan said...

Bandit, you kill me!!! I WAS JUST TYPING SOMETHIGN ABOUT COODY GOING -1 SO FAR TODAY.

Great minds...

Duval's round makes me wonder what I would shoot there, if I had my game from a few years ago... I can't imagine being unable to break 90.

New Texan said...

Well, Coody is E on his round through 9 holes today... if he can post a score around +2, Duval may not beat him. He clearly sucks, AND that course will be brutal this afternoon... this may be the best storyline of the day.

bocabandit said...

COODY JUST KNOCKED IT STIFF ON 12!
ANYBODY WANT TO BET A DRINK SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD THAT HE COMES IN LOWER THAN DUVAL FOR THE FIRST TWO ROUNDS. I'LL TAKE CC.

New Texan said...

You'd have to lay me odds to take that one... if Coody can finish at +2 for the day (reasonable), Duval needs to shoot 79 to tie him (less reasonable). At this point, I think it is 3:1 that Duval beats him.

bocabandit said...

That just about sums up how pathetic Duval is. I get 1 drink; you get a three for one happy hour special if he beats a guy who's got to be in his late 60s (at least). You're on.

New Texan said...

I DID NOT SAY I WANTED TO TAKE THE BET!!!

And, I just checked... duval went double-bogey, double-par (a 10 on a par 5) to start, so no friggin way! Coody already has him by 3 shots!!!

O.K. I just came back on to report the 10! You really, truly have to be yanking it to make 10 on that hole. Da Rodent could probably make 9. It's not like hitting a couple into the water at 13. He did birdie the third hole, so his bounce back ranking has improved. Maybe he can build on that for the rest of the round.
