He’s larger than life and still winning tournaments!
UNFIT, overweight, undisciplined, chain-smoking – he’s the antithesis of the modern sportsman. But that’s probably why people like old “Long John” so much.
Despite his flaws, John Daly is a golfing force to be reckoned with and pundits believe few players have as much raw talent as the colourful 51-year-old. He proved this recently when he won big at the Insperity Invitational in Texas, USA, his first PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) tournament in 13 years.
“It wasn’t pretty at the end but hey, a win’s a win,” said John, wackily clad as ever in the Stars and Stripes. Esteban Toledo, his friend and fellow golfer, doused him with champagne while Anna Cladakis, his caddy and the woman soon to become his fifth wife, stormed towards him in matching Stars and Stripes shorts. “I hung in there . . . That’s all that matters,” he quipped.
