John Daly | 1995 Open Championship |

[@peachman5698]

His putts...The way they roll....no sliding whatsoever...VERY underrated feel JD had

[@taylormartyn]

I remember watching this whole tournament live. Was so happy for Daly.

[@alwhyte6533]

I was at At. Andrews for this tournament and it was a great display by him. Very surprised he won at that course, to be honest, as it is a cruel test of a golfers patience and skill.

[@cartours5803]

Same. I think it suits the longer hitters with good short games

[@tomsmith2215]

[@chevy4x466]

What a dud of a career after that for one of the most popular players ever.

[@christopherfranklin972]

The win at St Andrews proved that John Daly was a talented and versatile golfer who had a great short game and putted beautifully.......that he could hit it out of sight was a bonus!

[@vapa5761]

John Daly, a true legend. Remembered being at one of his press conference and hearing him say that he played his best golf when he was probably drunk.

[@andrefecteau]

biggest "what never was" that ever golfed...well maybe Michelle Wi

[@skippythealien9627]

the greatest thing about this is he said in his documentary that he temporarily gave up alcohol and cigarettes just to do well at The Open. He instead gorged on chocolate instead, eating chocolate muffins, chocolate cake, drinking chocolate milk lol. Tiger is a great athlete, but no way he would be able to win if he ate and drank the chocolate meal plan like John did lol

[@harveyjohnny1967]

Lovely moment at the end between two guys who lived it, did it. You can see the respect between them.

Such an awesome line! Humble, down to earth, broke all the tension. The way they laughed after he said it. A lot of respect for each other.

[@zjdubya22]

This proved Big John could play and not just bomb it. Seriously this was a links clinic. I was really happy for him and so were the casinos lol.

[@chevy4x466]

Watching this it underscores what a shame it is that he couldn’t keep it together. But he has still been good for the game. The sky was the limit for him really

[@vantheman1244]

John Daly such a top bloke. If ever there was a people’s champion then John is the man.

[@irishgolftimes]

Was 12 at the time JD won this... Brings me back to my childhood. Nobody was cooler or more iconic for kids than this man. We all wanted to be the longest hitter with the "grip it and rip it style"... Looking at him now as an adult I can appreciate what great hands he had and a superb touch. He knew how to get the ball in the hole 👏👏👏. Thanks for the memories John

[@vs800rider]

Rocca went from a hacker's chili dip to one of the best putts in major golf history. Two good guys.

[@3daypriest]

Ewan MacFarlane ... Who gives a fuck? He rolled in that massive putt on the second playoff hole, huh? A lot of the reason he isn’t considered ‘one of the best8 is bc of opinions of uptight cunts. This clip started with Daly coming out of a bunker EXTREMELY close to the face. Rocca takes 3 to get out with a much better lie. Commentator 1: Well, Rocca pretty much threw away the playoff there, didn’t he? Commentator 2: Yeah, but his clothes are more stylish, aren’t they?

Very few golfers are able to get a ball out of that bunker on 17, being so close to the face. Daly obviously being one of the few and Rocca not. If Daly didn't have all of his personal demons, he could have been one of the all times greats.

[@quinnhunsinger1603]

Certainly amongst the most naturally gifted players to ever pick up a club and he seems to be doing well these days on the champions tour I followed him for a day at Caves Valley last weekend and while he didn't play too well it was an awesome day seeing big John rip it and he won a couple months ago which was great !

Yeah right. You know what, I was watching a KZbin video earlier of the playoff for the 95 Senior Open Championship. Ewen Murray was talking about the Ryder Cup standings for that year and said matter of factly that John Daly was a certain pick and someone the Europeans wouldn't want to play, despite being a rookie.

[@primafacie6442]

A true gentleman and pure talent, loved watching JD play.

Daley's face when Rocca holed thst putt was a picture. Like somebody had taken a dumping his lap. Fair play to him for not letting it derail him.

The "Everyman" golfer. It's still hard to believe that he won 2 Majors - not because he didn't exactly take care of himself physically, but because golf is such a hard sport and you have to work really hard at it.

When you peg it up in pro tournament's you have somebody collecting data & they would ask what ball you're playing. I remember reading that Daly stunned the guy asking at that Open when he said a Wilson Ultra (2 piece rock of bygone era). Yet he struck the ball so well he could still spin it sufficiently to get it to grab enough. Everyone else was using Titleist balatas, which was, frankly, pointless on a links

What will be totally different at Carnoustie for the 2018 Open Championship? It will be without the lyrical splendor, divine deviancy, evil genius, and mind-to-mouth without guard word murals of Sir Peter Alliss. A real rascal's rascal. Living legend. Watch his acceptance speech during his induction to The World Golf Hall of Fame. It's short, hilarious and will make any day better. Thank you, Peter for everything you have done to help shape my life. A bill shall be forthcoming in your mail.

[@MrAJR76]

He was once an excellent commentator, but let's be frank - he has been past his sell-by date for a good ten years now. He started going downhill with his "It'- not-over-yet" comment after Mickelson had just holed the winning putt at Augusta in '04. That lack of awareness was just inexcusable. He also, from the early-90s, started getting very critical of the players in a way he never previously had. I started watching golf in the mid-80s, so I grew up up with him - and I agree he was very good back then. But to call him a "living legend"? No, that's just absurd hyperbole.

[@stevenchampion8137]

MrAJR76 ... still better than Mark Roe, Harmon and the others on Sky.

[@showtime951]

@@MrAJR76 As someone who has played a round at dusk in shorts, barefoot with John Daly, shot many an afternoon practice baskets with Magic Johnson, enjoyed some of my most brutally honest late-night confessions with Evel Knievel, played tennis with Bjorn Borg, had lunch with Mario Andretti, dated Tatum O'Neal, and Ann-Margaret made me try her homemade chocolate chip cookies at about 1:30am once. But what would I know about living legends... Perhaps I should consult the special individuals with whom my life has personally, privately crossed such as Nancy Lopez, Jim Brown, Jim Nantz, Joe Namath, Nolan Ryan, Jack Nicklaus, Ken Venturi, Marcus Allen, Dick Enberg, Jim Murray, Dr. Jerry Buss, Willie Mays, Refer Johnson, and John Wooden. A couple of these are posthumous of course, but this is how much I was influenced by them. I will consult a few of the others to get straight on this "living legend" thing. Thank you for your keen observation.
