It may be a new year, but so far 2010 looks exactly the same as 2009.

A Magical Week For David Duval at Bethpage

I must admit, seeing David Duval‘s name near the top of the leaderboard at the U.S. Open on Friday made me happy. But, like most golf fans and spectators, I did not expect it to last very long. He contended for a brief period at Royal Birkdale last year, but faded on Saturday with a […]
