John Daly playing tournement golf

[Chilidipper]

Looks like he is on the leaderboard for the Hong Kong classic or whatever the technical name is. He has putted fairly well and played smart golf.

[David in FL]

Smart golf....John Daly? Our John Daly?!!!!!

Hang in there JD!

[losingmyedge]

He was hitting some nice hybrids off the tee.

[Chief Broom]

If JD ever got his shit together he'd give Tiger a run for his money.

Pardon my French...

Well, looks like two good rounds for him, and he's tied for 15th 4 off the lead going into the weekend. He's gonna have to make a move, but he's up there.

[SubPar]

He's playing okay, but I'm not sure I've seen a pro golfer look so unhappy or disinterested.

One get's the feeling he's old showman forced on stage out of a need to make a few dollars. He looks like a blank slate, even when he sinks a birdie putt; just going thorough the motions.

J.D. is T55 after a 3rd round 73 and is an even dozen strokes out of the lead.

[Kevin04]

JD is playing the round of his life today, He's on the 14th hole and -7, sitting in tied 9th position but the leaders are yet to go out.

[M2daRizzle]

he shot a final round 62, which is pretty ballin if you ask me. the leaders havent finished but he will get a pretty good paycheck after finishing 9 under for the tournament.

More proof that booze and hooters girls are not all that bad for you...

[GolfingNewbie]

anyone see the finish to this tournament? some pretty amazing golf shots

whose shot was better lins or rorys? i reckon rorys

[Scott_Tee]

He did not win the Tournament, I was trying to find the results

I think John has all the talent in the world. Davis Love said that everyone is rooting for him. The 62 he just shot could jumpstart John into prominence.

Hold onto your big foam fingers, face paint, and beer hats people... we may be witnessing the John Daly turnaround!

And it's about time...

Yeah, one good round is a turnaround... huh?

Until the next time he screws up. At this point he's screwed up enough that I actively root against the guy. I root FOR him to get the help he needs, but I think any success he has in spite of his problems does more damage than good.

[wilbur.kay]

That sure put a bucket of cold water on it all...

And he had 3 decent rounds which often can win a tournament.

I do concur with what you say about his need for help, but it is up to him to get it. It appears that playing poorly drives him to grog so perhaps the only way to get help is to start playing better and be relaxed enough to give rehab a real go?

Good luck to him!

[SubPar]

He had three "okay" days of golf and then a fantastic 62 on Sunday. This hardly constitutes a trun-around, but it is a sign that he still has an "A game" in him.

You are right. Tiger has also told John that he wished he had JD's natural talent as he was hitting balls and Big John was headed to the nearest bar. Every time that I think we have seen the LAST of the Good Ole Boy, he does something like the 62, and I begin to think, "maybe, just maybe, he will wise up and play like he is capable of". I never wish anyone ill will, so I hope he does get straightened out, for his own sake and his family, especially the young son who was on "Daly Planet" on The Golf Channel. We will see. We have "been down this road before" so I am NOT getting my hopes up. Eli Callaway did that, and JD FAILED Mr. Callaway. He is running out of time and excuses so he HAD BETTER DO IT RIGHT this time.
