John Daly just can't get a break

Golfer John Daly, a flamboyant personality (he was wearing purple paisley pants yesterday), has had more downs than up finally might have achieved redemption from his personal demons yesterday with a low score at the British Open, but he was eclipsed by a much youger Irishman who tied the lowest score ever in a major golf event - nine under.

Here is a wonderful piece of writing about Daly and his performance from the Daily Express in the UK. One quote - "Calm and Daly have not been regular bedfellows during a volcanic career which has included four divorces, five PGA Tour bans and on-course fines totalling £65,000, but St Andrews has a beatific effect on the reformed rabble rouser."

John Daly is a classic example of "art imitating life". Who would have thought that when Kevin Costner made the movie "Tin Cup" that it could be based on a real person!
