David Duval

DAVID DUVAL: Wasn't a factor.

DAVID DUVAL: I played pretty well. I hit it close a lot.

DAVID DUVAL: Yeah, I just didn't make any putts. Kind of like last week. I don't know why. I don't know, I just hit bad putts. Just didn't go in.

DAVID DUVAL: Yeah, I can't really respond to that because I don't know -- I didn't know it was leaving, you know. I didn't know it was going away next year for a year. I don't know what's on the agenda, if it's supposed to return after that. I think the guy from Seattle says they are taking it out there every four years maybe, and I don't know if that's true or not. So I can't really answer your question.

DAVID DUVAL: You all trying to get everybody to lobby to get the tournament back, is that it? Oh, I love it. I love it. I think it's great. It's stood the test of time. You haven't had to jack around with it. You know, you don't see 20-under here, winning scores, at all. I think it's a lot of fun to come here. It's nice going to courses that you know that are really, really good. I would hate to see it disappear, that's for sure. Yeah, I've missed a lot of fairways before. I'm just -- you know, it's no big deal.
