I think about what I say. I don’t give stock answers. I’m not trying to cultivate an image with the public, like several of the top players do. – David Duval
I love hitting the ball, controlling the ball. And yeah, even the roar of the crowd. I enjoy the roar of the crowd probably less than some players and more than some. But I’m not out here to be a celebrity. – David Duval
What I’m saying is that, unlike a lot of portrayals of me, I’m not hiding behind the sunglasses. I’m out there working. I’m not trying to sell anybody anything, but I do realize we’re entertainers. – David Duval
I may not look it when I’m playing, but I think I’m a fun guy to hang with when I’m relaxing. – David Duval
The best way to explain it is that I’m not yearning anymore, on or off the course. I appreciate what I have. I feel like I’m blessed. – David Duval
I’m content. I want to have better success in the tournaments than I’ve had, but I know I’m playing well, so I’m happy with that. – David Duval
The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands. – David Duval
Maybe that’s some of the reason I feel so good today. Maybe I finally realised that it’s just a game. – David Duval
You don’t have to hit perfect shots all the time here. The variety of shots you get to play, the shots you sometimes have to hit along the ground, it’s just a lot of fun to me. – David Duval
But just like I’ve always said when people complain about tee times, ‘I just want a tee time. Just give me one so I can play.’ – David Duval
I slowly continued to compensate for the physical problems I was having and ended up completely destroying my swing, my set-up, my posture. Everything was gone. – David Duval
I realize what it means to be financially comfortable, and I want to be that. But I’m lucky enough to be in that position. And I’m also careful. I save 38 percent of my earnings after expenses, before taxes. – David Duval
I was in the middle of the golf tournament trying to make birdies and I was just having a blast. So that probably qualifies as having a greater appreciation. – David Duval
I didn’t do anything spectacular when I won the Open in 2001. I hit the ball good, not great. I putted good, not great, but I think I missed maybe two putts inside eight feet all week. – David Duval
