John Daly a brilliant driver of the ball and not only that John Daly was blessed with a wonderful touch around the greens..yes John Daly had his problems but he was and always will be a popular guy...he also will be remembered for donating 30000 dollars of his winnings to a particular family who's. Father was struck by lightning at the championship .

I was at that tournament. Staked out a spot on the #1 tee box and watched some of the greatest golfers of all time all day. Daly hit the ball farther than I could even see. Unbelievable length at that time

Fun, fun week! So many stories I could relate. Daly was reported to be driving golf balls OVER the net on practice range. A bit of Faldo's practice consisted of one-handed wedges to nearly exactly 100 yards, as he alternated hands! Nick was ranked World #1 then. Indy was in midst of historic drought, as the pro's were dumbfounded on how lush the course was. When it finally rains, lightning strikes and kill's a guy. Daly donates cash to the poor man's family. Also, Daly nearly penalized when his caddy, Squeaky Medlin, was accused of showing John the correct line of putting with the flagstick. The final decision by the officials took several nervous minutes with many replays. In some ways this tourney was an historic turning point for the sport. It elevated Pete Dye's stature as a designer and he owned a house right on the golf course! Daly's Driving distance's were suddenly golf's main headlines. Player's/media debated it could be an advantage to hit a wedge from high rough at 120 yards, instead of a 4 iron from 210 out. Couple that was the fact that Daly was practically unknown and wins a Major Tournament simply by "gripping and ripping...'

Winning the Open Championship is a Major performance, and John would’ve won more majors and tournaments if it hadn’t been for his life off the course.
