John Daly began the second round four strokes behind Vijay Singh, who tied the course record yesterday. He has now gone to nine under, one stroke ahead of Singh who tees off later.
Sentimental Favorite. The title fits well. John Daly is Everyman for most of us who follow golf. Hal Sutton overcame many mid-career problems, and I hope to see Big John do the same. He got spoiled winning majors early in his career, and fell victim to strap-hangers. For all the power he displays with a driver in his hands, he has a deft touch around the green to match.
Go get ’em, John! I’ll watch the telecast if you’re in contention.
**** UPDATE ****
Busy day tomorrow. Play golf in the morning, watch John Daly in the afternoon, and go to the baseball game at night. Must sandwich time for the granddaughter in between all that!
I am pleased to hear someone say something positive about John. Most of the time people just focus only on the negative side of his life. He is a great golfer and has a number of shots in his bag of tricks. YES GO John!!!!
