Scorecard today:
Daly was on the leaderboard much of the round as he was greeted with cheers of “Go Big John” from a fan gallery that still loves his eccentric style, shock of thick white hair, bushy beard and a belly that hides his belt buckle.
Then came the late-round meltdown in the rising heat: four bogeys in the final five holes, including three in a row on Nos. 16-18. By the end, Daly’s 2-over 72 left him in no mood to talk, and he skipped post-round interviews.
Wife:
At least his cart didn’t cause him any problems. At the 2021 PGA Championship on Kiawah Island, Daly needed fans to help him get out of some sand when he got stuck.
His biggest obstacles in Tulsa were a couple of water hazards he could drive around by going under the ropes and briefly into the gallery.
Golf cart Exemption:
Daly has had a fairly mediocre season so far on the PGA Tour Champions. It has included a disqualification which came last week at Regions Tradition at TPC Sugarloaf after he forgot to sign his score card. Whoops.
There was also an ugly little four-putt thrown in for good measure and Daly hasn’t commented on the first time he has ever been DQ’d on the senior circuit.

Jr:
Daly hit the opening tee shot of the second men’s major of the year in Oklahoma.
The 1991 champion – who that week only just made his tee time after sneaking in as an alternate and driving in overnight – almost holed his second shot at the par-4 first but made do with birdie.
He was playing alongside American Shaun Micheel and Korea’s YE Yang.
