I know he has done some dumbass things in his life, but I sure would love to see him win to stick it up the collective ass of all the stuffed shirts that choose to kick him when he was down.

Daly is on fire in his opening round. Although its early, its cool seeing big John as the leader. I wish him luck. The kid McIlroy is looking good too. Boy, I just love the Open. Something about waking up and watching it at 5:30am from across the pond. Definitely my favorite to watch.

I just woke up to check things out and my jaw dropped. -7 through 16 when I first saw. Great for him. Great play on 18 with the putter as well.

Hmm. Daly rimmed out another one, he bogeyed 17 and rimmed out like 4 coming in, his still leading for now, but boy he could have really gone low had a couple More fallen. All good though hope he keeps it up.

Maybe this weekend could help him get on track. His life has been a train wreck. I was glad he didn't go out and shoot 82, and he gave himself great position at -6.

He's a very good putter, never got much credit for it, as well as his short game, amazing hands. I hope he can keep it up..

I have to say, JD has come a long way and much further than most thought he was capable of. I am really not a fan of his, but I do give credit where its due.

It isn't Big John anymore; it's Long John. He's a much smaller John now, thanks to surgery and diet.

Also, how can you say he's looking good when he's wearing what he's wearing??

But it is good to see him play well.

All of a sudden after suing a childrens charity for $100 million and everybody hating him now he has fans? Hmm. I could give a isht either way about him. I'ts just funny to see the people on tv kissing his ass now and people on message boards rooting for him when 3 days ago everyone hated him.

It's interesting to see him play well, but I don't feel especially sorry for him because of what he has "gone through". There are a lot of people out there with real problems, John Daly has persisted over the years in creating problems for himself.

I like a combination of these two.

His first round was top drawer and those strides he was wearing put Poulter to shame.

I'd like to see Daly up there on Sunday, as he's one of the few truly exciting players on tour, but I fear if he blows one hole badly his head will go down and that'll be end of story.

Alcoholism is his own fault?

Who else's fault would it be? Did JD "catch" alcoholism like a cold?

I've been a JD fan for a long time. I'm happy to see that he is doing well, but especially doing well in life. He has a heart of gold.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
