John Daly plays his second of what could be seven majors this year on both tours he is exempt into the PGA Championship and British Open as a past champion. But it was playing straight down wind and I knew that green is a very much of a down slope before the pin.
During his heyday in the early 1990s, Daly won four times on the PGA Tour, notably an improbable victory in the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick, which he entered as ninth alternate. 14, 16 and 17 to trim his advantage to one.
John Daly on Thursday at the Senior PGA Championship signed for a quintuple-bogey nine. The Australian dropped nine shots in his first 10 holes to tumble down the leaderboard and wound up shooting a 78 to tie for 15th at 3 under. I just have to congratule Rocco and then come back and try to win this again. He only played that once in its first year as a major in 2003.
The 52-year-old Scot posted a three-under 68 for a 12-under 201 and lurks just two shots behind frontrunner Rocco Mediate. So for the most part I think I did a good job. He had shot 70-70-69 and held a share of fourth place last week at Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, Ala., before posting a final-round 74 and fading. “It’s always tough to judge the up and overs, it was up a pretty good percent slope and then once it got to the top of the crown it was breaking left and so I hit a pretty good read on it in the beginning and Brian helped me, my caddie, and we increased the break a couple inches and hit it well and it went in”. DalCorobbo is the golf coach at Speedway High School and the assistant golf pro at Brickyard Crossing, the golf course at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The highlight of Dalcorobbo’s round was when he chipped in from the fairway for eagle at the 18th.
The American made the first move with birdies at the third and fifth, and responded to a dropped shot at the seventh with back-to-back birdies into the turn while Montgomerie birdied five, six and nine.
