Injury-plagued Duval returns, to partner with stepson

By Dave Shedloski ORLANDO -- David Duval can't help but feel snakebit when it comes to injuries. For good reason. Duval, a former British Open champion and No. 1 player in the world, has been dealt a series of health-related setbacks for more than a decade, starting with a bad back in 2000. His 2012 season, in which he made just three cuts in 17 starts, was plagued by chronic knee problems, and it came to an abrupt end in August after he broke his right foot in a freak home accident. Despite walking with a noticeable limp, Duval is itching to indulge in some competitive golf, which is why he is teaming with stepson Nick Karavites this weekend in the PNC Father-Son Challenge at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. "I still feel like if I ever got healthy I can be a top-20 player. The trick is to get healthy," Duval said Wednesday. "You know, I don't like to complain. You just have to deal with the challenges put in your way. I couldn't play in the Fall Series. I couldn't compete in Q-School. I basically didn't touch a club for almost three months." Duval, 41, suffered the foot injury literally by falling out of bed. His two small children ran screaming through their Denver house while playing one morning in early September, abuptly awakening their father. "I leapt out of bed in a panic thinking something was wrong, caught my foot on the sheet and fell on my back and my head. At least the kids were OK," he said, chuckling. "At first I thought I dislocated a toe. No, it was a clean break." After earning just $32,936, Duval has only past champions status on the PGA Tour. A winner of 13 tour titles, he has to rely on sponsor exemptions to enter tournaments. This week's 36-hole scramble format allows him to ease back into the game. His plans for 2013 are modest: get healthy and rebuild his game slowly to a level that he's accustomed. "The goal for me this next year is to get my status back," he said. "I'm still working hard at it, and I know what I'm capable of." (Getty Images photo)

In naming Tom Watson U.S. captain, PGA of America is making a statement

By Tim RosaforteThe one criticism I keep hearing about the United States in Ryder Cup competition is too much deferring by the captain, too much a team by committee. I also keep hearing the PGA of America and its new president Ted Bishop wants to shake things up. So what better way to go back in time than bring back Tom Watson, which my sources say they plan to do. Watson said at the Australian Open that it would be "cool" and "an honor" to come back as captain, so he's on board. The announcement will be made Thursday on the "Today" show Thursday morning. Larry Nelson, a two-time PGA champion long overlooked by the PGA, said he has not been contacted. Next in line among contemporary players would be David Toms, the 2001 PGA champion. I'd expect Toms, 46, to get the call in 2016, when the competition returns to the United States at Hazeltine in Minnesota.Related: The reasons the U.S. lost the Ryder Cup As for Watson, and why he's a good fit, the reasons jump off the page: Last winning away captain for the United States; revered in Scotland, where the competition is being held at the Gleneagles Resort in 2014; a legend younger players would look up to and respect -- because he's not afraid to speak his mind or make a decision. That was the case in 1993, when he captained the U.S. to victory at The Belfry. You may remember Watson outraged several European players, most noticeably Sam Torrance, by refusing to participate in the tradition passing of the menus for autographs. You may not remember that Watson made most of the calls on pairings and slots in the singles lineup.Related: Tom Watson's Golf Digest tips John Cook was on that team and sat until Saturday, when he and Chip Beck were sent out to face the supposedly indomitable European team of Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie. Cook and Beck won 2 up and turned the tide in what was one of only three United States victories in 20 years. "I don't think he asked anybody to tell you the truth," Cook said when I reached him Tuesday evening. "He had his game plan with Stan Thirsk. He talked to Roy Williams, who was then at Kansas, about coaching. I know he had his practice pairings, but he just kind of observed, made his mental notes and made the pairings. We had such a complete trust in Tom and what he was doing. He was the captain. He ran the show. He took the bull and rode it all the way to the end." One bull that Watson may have a tough time riding is Tiger Woods. Watson made some comments about Tiger's on-course behavior in 2010 that could still be lingering but that, in part, is why I expect the PGA to break tradition and go old school. Watson has never been afraid of shaking it up, speaking his mind, or making a call. Sounds like the new PGA president is of the same mind.  Follow @TimRosaforte !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d. createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs .parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");
