TMZ Report May Explain Why David Duval Is Much More Willing To Talk These Days

Never one to give the impression that he enjoyed answering questions or in general, talking, David Duval has been working for ESPN these days and was in the Open Championship media center longer than anyone a few weeks ago. For someone so reserved it's been a refreshing change. There may be a reason. TMZ reports Duval has a house in foreclosure.

With $18 million in PGA Tour earnings and at one time a massive deal with Nike, I hate to ask, but one does wonder where the money went?

As a former Open Champion, the Daily Mail's crack reporter Daily Mail Reporter, took special interest in the story.

There's A Deep Backstory to Suzann's "Bodies" Issue Photo Shoot

And Steve DiMeglio talks to her about it, but do you really care about anything else but the photo?

So when ESPN The Magazine approached her to appear in its upcoming Body Issue, Pettersen, ranked No. 6 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, didn't hesitate in agreeing to show off her birthday suit.

"A lot of the best athletes in the world have done it, and I thought it was great to be asked. I thought about it, being naked and all, but I never really considered not doing it," said Pettersen, who is 5-9 and weighs 150 pounds. "I just had to make sure that I was comfortable in doing it. It's as natural as it gets. It's health at its peak.

"I'm in great company."

Westwood Injures Himself In On-Course Slip

From an unbylined wire report, and just twelve days before the Open for the top title contender.

He was walking to the first tee in the third round of the Alstom French Open at Paris' Le Golf National.

"I was talking to Richard Sterne's caddie and not looking where I was going," Westwood told Sky Sports. "I slipped on wooden sleepers down the side of the cart path. My left foot went forward about two feet and my right foot stayed where it was.

"It left like I strained something at the top of my right leg and tweaked my right knee as well. I didn't really have much confidence in it and as the round went on I just kept stretching my groin out. It seems to have eased off but I am still a little bit wary of it. I felt if I stopped it might make it worse by seizing up, so I thought it was better to keep it moving.

Steiny Lands Another Ride To The Course; Expected To Sign Cantlay

Rex Hoggard with the news of UCLA's Patrick Cantlay turning pro and signing with agent Mark Steinberg who can now bum a ride off the young lad until January 25th, 2013.

Cantlay wasn't confirming after the round.

Despite Cantlay’s denial, sources say he plans to sign with Tiger Woods’ manager Mark Steinberg with Excel Sports Management. GolfChannel.com ask Steinberg about his relationship with Cantlay Sunday at Olympic and he declined to comment.

With dramatic changes to the PGA Tour’s Q-School and Nationwide Tour system looming it’s likely that many underclassman will bolt school early, but Cantlay’s longtime swing coach Jamie Mulligan warned that no decision has been made.

Gibson's 55: No Range Warmup, Played The Ball Down

Mike Baldwin catches up with Rhein Gibson--55 shooter from the Golfweek Tour--who has been busy playing and not talking much about the round. But he did chat it up with Baldwin and revealed that there was no pre-round warm-up and despite mudballs, there was no lifting, cleaning and cheating.

The mind-boggling score, oddly enough, was posted on a day Gibson didn’t get to warm up on the driving range, which was closed due to heavy rains the previous night.

“The ball didn’t roll much,” Munson said. “Several times we had mud on our balls. We played it down. We didn’t pick and clean it. It produced some unpredictable shots. The key was his putting.”

Gibson chipped in for an eagle on No. 13, a par 5. He hit 16 greens in regulation, and he logged only 19 putts.

Gibson also talks about how tough it is to get through Q-school to the PGA Tour. Problem solved!
