daly in, duval out

So John Daly made the Masters. David Duval, however, has decided to sit this year's out, to find his swing and enjoy his marriage to his new bride, a mother of three.

It is interesting to compare the careers of Daly and Duval. Daly has won 2 majors, and Duval, just 1 (although Duval more tournaments). Both players have somewhat unorthodox swings and great short games, but, right now, Daly's game is head-and-shoulders above what Duval's was last year. To be fair, Duval had a bunch of injuries plaguing him all year. If neither player won another major (let's hope that doesn't happen), Daly might get a slight edge for having the better career. And he surely is the fan favorite.
