2002 comments on David Duval

More recent comments from 2005 and later are here, from 2004 here and from 2003, here.

A Double D Fan says:
"Looking forward to 2003 and watching David Duval. We follow him closely, keeping check on every hole of his a.m. rounds via live scoring and sad to say his p.m. rounds too, as the networks ignore him unless he's very high on the leader board. We find tournaments boring when he's not in the field. Same ole, same ole bombastic rhetoric. Note to David: "Best of luck this coming year and if your driver's balky again, please leave it in the locker room".

Melvin from Los Angeles writes:
"David Duval is my favorite golfer because he does things with a goal and he sticks with it. When he made up his mind to lose weight, he really did it and to great success. I admire his passion for golf and I think the media out there are just too cruel to him. He should deserve more than just one major and hopefully the year 2003 would be another good year for him."

A visitor states simply:
"He is a good good player, and he is cool."

Tim from the UK has praise:
"He is friendly towards other players. He even joined in with the European celebrations in the hotel bar after their Ryder Cup victory."

Mike from Scotland writes:
"Duval was once a great, but he faded in the trail blaze Tiger Woods is leaving all modern day players in. I don't doubt Duval will win a few events in his future, but not many."

Eric Palmer from Ohio says:
"When I have the hat and sunglasses on, everyone says I look just like him. I just dont play like him.....yet?"

Mattie from Texas writes:
"I believe that David Duval gives the game of golf some stability. In a world where sports stars change from minute to minute, it's such a great relief to see him play. The way he plays, and the way he views golf is amazing. He knows that you can't play all the time, and that golf isn't life. He lives his life very privately. He knows that sometime it will end. And he prepares for that. He isn't concerned with money, or how people view him. He plays golf, and lives his life for himself, David."

The Kellys write:
"He's a young man of great character, so well rounded, so real, so down to earth, so sincere, so unaffected. He's multi-dimensional, not a prodigy robot. He's the kind of person we'd like to have in for a quiet dinner. We thoroughly enjoy his golf and feel terrible when he's had a bad day. He reminds us of our two sons. We're terribly sorry about his broken engagement and hope he's soon able to mend the pieces of his "train wreck" of 2002."

Clarence from Las Vegas says David Duval is his favorite player, but...
"...after watching him in round one of the 2002 U. S. Open, I would suggest that he go back to school and become a dentist."
