He is 26 years old.

He shot an -11 under to tie the course record. Only problem is he gonna play good for the other 3 days?

To tie the course record, interesting.

My guess is he'll finish out of the top 10. I was right about Pavin when he shot the lights out over 9 holes last year.

This guy is not the real deal. He is a complete fluke that we will never hear about again.

I would like to see him play well, but when he plays the South Course and you add weekend stress to the situation, Tiger beating down your back, and huge crowds then the game is gonna change drastically.

Regardless, dudes. 9 birdies and an eagle. Impressive.

Duval at -6; 9 birdies, a single and a dub. Not too shoddy neither.

Too bad there's a guy named Eldrick in this tournament.

No one besides Tiger, Veej, Jose Maria and Mick in this tournament in the top 20. Should be an easy win for Tiger.

I thought it was pretty cool to see duval go 6 under for the first round, even though it was on the easy course. the key is to go as low as possible on the south course.

I'm not too sure but I think Duval is on Tour from sponsor exemptions. If he makes a top 10 or wins, does he get to play on Tour next year without depending on sponsors?

It's all about the money list, no? If he has enough sponsor's exemptions to play enuf tourneys....

He made the cut today--2 for 2 this year.

Daly is in the same boat, btw.

Rich Beem took it low on the south course today. Snedeker still on top.

Duval is not on a sponsor exemption.

RU sure? His PGA tour exemption, based on his British Open victory, expired last year.

David Duval is playing a one year exemption from being on the Top 25 Career Money list. Anyone on the Top 25 list is allowed a one time year exemption.
