John Daly Angrily Hurls Golf Club Into Lake Michigan

And one golf club.

Daly – who donned the red, white and blue for his first round Thursday – fired a respectable 1-over 73 to open the tournament.

A resounding golf clap for the distance on that throw; he had to put a little behind that to make the water.

Daly’s tee shot appeared to end up in either Lake Michigan or thereabouts in the hazard, and his next two shots met with similar fates at Whistling Straits. That’s the ideal ending for a man living the frustrated golfer’s wildest dreams. But if his sizzling birdie-birdie-birdie start to Friday’s second did not capture your attention, how about the Al Czervik socks that Green was sporting? Daly went down to a 6-iron and got the same result. Finally, he hit the green and then heaved the club. “I know it’s not the right thing to do”. “If it were 14 holes, I’d be a great player”. He hasn’t won since 2004 at Torrey Pines, and he hasn’t had a full PGA Tour card in a decade. Some time later, a boat rolled up to the spot where Daly’s club ended up and a kid fished it out of the water as a trophy.
