With an opening round of 67 JD looked like he was striking the ball well.

He posted 7 birdies and 2 bogeys.

When he was interviewed, he said that he and his caddy decided that he was going to hit driver all the way around the course as he would rather hit a short iron from the difficult rough rather than a long iron from that same rough. Interesting idea, but apparently worked for him as he scored well considering that he only hit the fairway 1/2 the time.

Maybe I just like to cheer for the underdog, but I would love it if he could just place in the top 3.

What do you think? Does Big John have a chance of posting some more good scores this week?

His strategy and execution of it bested all others on the south course today. So thats is a win for us JD fans I suppose. You have to find the positives where you can when you are a JD fan. LoL A top 3 would be phenomenal but not likely, odds are probably better he shoots a 75 then a 65 tomorrow. so I am cheering him on for the win. He is my guy regardless.

I believe John Daly has enough raw talent to always be a threat of posing very low scores.  I am rooting for him as I know he has struggled with some demons and hope he has bested them.

Isn't this just his "MO"? The guy fires off a low score as he has done countless times only to follow it up with a 78 or something like that. I don't wish anything bad on him or anybody else for that matter but if the guy is still around come Sunday it would be quite a story but until he does it's just another reminder of what could have been for the guy.

The longer it takes for him to spontaneously combust, the more people get to see it. Win win.

Can't hope for him anymore...now he is mad that he wasn't given sponsors' exemptions at the Hope and Phoenix...the guy doesn't get it. Past behavior counts with some people...he shouldn't be a hero...he sure isn't a role model for our junior golfers

Good player at times? ...Yes...Good example at times?,....No

I agree mostly, though not for the same reasons. I'm really just done caring about the guy. For me, the worst thing is that he just pisses away his chances. There are billions of people in the world who have it worse off than Daly, and those are the people I would rather feel bad for. I don't care about what kind of a roll model he is, but to have had so much talent at something and to be in the spot he was, with millions of dollars and the admiration of millions of people, for him to have thrown that away loses my following. Not that that matters to him, but whatever.

Partly why I like him, he is far from perfect, he does the wrong things, he sez the wrong things, he is anti establishment. He shows his emotions for better or worse. And sure he has blown it in the past and yet he has not given up. Still out there trying to live the dream. I like that. And will pull for him as long as he is out trying to make it happen. I am a fan of guys with charter and adversity , for me guys like Fred couples are so boring I can't stand to watch.

Didn't get a chance to watch any of the play today - just found out that JD hung in there - tied for third.

For those who want to see him blow it, this should build the suspense.

For others of us who like to see  "the guy who made all the mistakes" have a moment of redemption, this was a good day.

Then, to make the day even better - my man Bubba Watson finally started to play like a champion, shooting the low round of the day 7 below par.

WTH!

Just now watching today's action on the DVR and can't believe JD missed that birdie putt on 9 by a fraction. I count 3 birdie puts he missed by just a fraction. That an that 4 putt. Arrrg. And yet he is still near the top of the leader board. A very good 2 days of golf for JD He sounded like he is in a good frame of mind in his interview. Bodes well for the next round. That 4 putt could have seriously derailed anybody, especially an emotional player like JD

Yup.  Instead of being grateful for any sponser exemptions, he compains about the few he didn't get.  Glad they pulled his show.  His whining got boring real fast.
