Reports emerged last Friday that the two-time major winner’s residence in Clearwater, Florida, was destroyed from the category-4 storm. On Wednesday, Daly confirmed the stories to the tour’s website, calling the hurricane “devastating, the worst I’ve ever seen”.
Just one month after competing in his first professional event, John Daly II qualified to compete for the first time in the US Amateur, which is set to take place next month at Hazeltine National outside Minneapolis.
Daly’s Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond 9-degree driver and Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond 15-degree 3-wood are both loaded with lead tape to add weight, and those Callaway clubs will be curiously joined by Sub 70’s 659 CB irons and TAIII wedges.
Although he averaged 290.2 yards off the tee – 6.4 yards longer than driving distance leader Davis Love III – in the 17 events and 51 rounds he played that year, Daly’s name is not included among the official stats leaders.
A new addition to the stable of great golf movies is in the works, with legendary two-time Major winner John Daly set to be portrayed by Jonah Hill in a biopic coming soon.
John Daly revealed on Friday he was playing with an injury to a sensitive, private area during the first round of the PGA Tour Champions’ Ascension Charity Classic.
