A song writer, performer, alcoholism, gambler, drug, health, mariages problems - The true color of John Daly. But one thing for sure, he had archeived which most of PGA players have not - 1991 PGA championship and 1995 British Open.Born in April 28, 1966 in Carmichael, California and move to Arkansas and started to play golf since six years old.
Daly turned professional in 1987, and won the his first ever title at Ben Hogan Utah Classic in 1990. Then he joined the PGA Tour in the following year and he came into attention after won the PGA Championship that particular year. The interesting fact was, he was the ninth and final alternate for the Championship. He entered the competition when Nick Price dropped out and no other alternate could make it.
Daly's golf swing is easily recognized, as he sends the club way "past parallel" to the ground on his backswing, thereby generating tremendous power. His lifetime average for distance off the tee is 309.4 yards, and his single-season personal best is an average of 314.3 yards, which he attained in 2003.Eventhough he can reach very long par 5 holes in two strokes where no one else can, he is also known for having soft hands and a deft touch in his short game around the greens.
Despite his non "country club" appearance and attitude, and his rough-and-tumble personal life, Daly remains one of the most popular and intriguing figures on the Tour, despite his recent lack of success. This video speak it all!!!!
