No Real Rush Duval Return 

'No Real Rush' For Duval To Return To Competition

Despite a recent report that David Duval likely will return
to competition for The Players Championship March 25-28,
instructor David Leadbetter, while optimistic about the
former No. 1 player's improvement, says that "nothing is
automatic right now." Not even playing in the Masters.
Indeed, there's nothing to keep Duval from waiting until
summer, if that's what it takes. It all depends on his con-
fidence and progress. "There's no real rush," Leadbetter
said Wednesday from Orlando. "It's not do-or-die that it
has to be TPC or Augusta. It's going to be when he feels
his game and his head are ready for it." The only apparent
sure thing is that Duval, 32, who made only four cuts in
20 events last year and fell to 242nd in the world rankings,
is getting married during the first week of March to Susie
Persichitte, an interior designer from Denver he met last
summer at The International. While Leadbetter is encouraged
that Duval has started to fade the ball again, he's concern-
ed about the timing of Duval's return. If Duval eventually
eyes TPC, it might be smarter to start back at, say, either
the Honda Classic or Bay Hill, rather than face the pressure
of a debut at Ponte Vedra Beach in his hometown tournament.
