I always thought it was weird that Duval got his first major after getting into great shape, and yet it was probably his new physique that led to his slide from the world's elite group of players. He's got his old body type back and it looks like he's finding his old swing again...hopefully he'll get back on the top 10s, top 5s, and wins wagon before long.

Was it his new physique or the psychological impact of the young Tiger nipping at his heels that caused David's game to go away for so long.
