Who Finishes Higher This Week, Duval or Wie?

It might not be Rocco Mediate versus Tiger Woods for a major championship, but a B-level tournament couldn't ask for much more than a washed up PGA Tour player competing against a struggling LPGA Tour player on a stage meant for men.

Thanks to Michelle Wie, the Reno-Tahoe Open is getting more attention than normal and although some lesser known golfers are calling Wie out, it's more fun to have a former major champion-turned bogey machine complaining about her inclusion in the field.

The "she should be on the Futures Tour" comment meshed with both of their careers taking a similar, unexpected dive has Golfweek raising an interesting question -- who do you have finishing higher in this week's PGA Tour event, David Duval or Wie?
Big Wiesy vs. Double D in the Battle for Career Reclamation? C'mon people. That's even better than free cans of Arnold Palmer Arizona Iced Tea and packages of those orange peanut butter crackers at the turn for eternity.

It's funny to think that only weeks ago we were close to planning golf's funeral. Now – think about this for a second – we wouldn't even notice if tigerwoods.com was updated with information like how many times Sam Alexis has tried to sign her name in Crayon on daddy's cast.
An impressive week at the British Open was just Duval's second cut of 2008, while Wie has struggled in her own regard, making just four of seven cuts.

Final hole on Friday, both needing a birdie to make the cut, who do you have? I think Duval hits the putt, misses, and blames it on vertigo while Wie sinks the putt, only to sign her competitors name on the scorecard and land a quick disqualification.

Would anything else make sense with these two?
