Daly a caring club-thrower
A PERFECT 10.
John Daly recorded a 10 on the par-3 seventh hole Friday at the PGA Championship. And, as always, he made some memories along the way.
After dunking three balls into Lake Michigan, Daly decided his golf club needed to take a swim, too, so he hurled it into the water.
One lucky young man was riding in a boat nearby. The driver steered the boat up to where the club landed so the boy could fish it out.
Daly made a 10 on the hole, en route to a cut-missing 10-over 82.
Speaking in the parking lot after his round, Daly said he figures he’ll get fined and called the club throw more of a reflex than anything. But, he said, when you throw a club, it shows you care.
Spieth makes sand magic
WITH his ball resting awkwardly in the back of a greenside bunker, Jordan Spieth would have been happy to get up and down for a par.
How ’bout a birdie?
Spieth took a steep backswing, made perfect contact with the ball and watched it bounce on the 18th green and drop in the hole. It gave him momentum as he made the turn in the second round of the PGA Championship, and was the highlight of a 5-under 67 that put him one shot behind the leaders.
Tiger hacking again
TIGER Woods spent some time in bunkers Friday — none of it very fun.
He went bunker to bunker on the fourth hole, en route to a double bogey.
Then, on No. 8, with the ball tucked just in front of the back lip, he was lucky to get it out of the sand and into the heavy rough. He saved a bogey there.
He made the turn at 1 over for the day and 4 over for the tournament. The projected cut is currently 2 over.
