After his starring position in Joyful Gilmore 2, John Daly may wish to contemplate taking on appearing full-time after setting an undesirable PGA Tour Champions single-hole file on the Sanford Worldwide.
In what seems like a scorecard error, the two-time main winner took a whopping 19 strokes on the par-5 twelfth gap, which included seven drops. Making it the best single-hole rating in PGA Tour Champions historical past.
He ended the primary spherical 18 over on 88, and unsurprisingly backside of the chief board, 9 pictures adrift of Tom Lehman in 77th on the Minnehaha Nation Membership in Sioux Fall. He would have carded a powerful 69 if he was allowed to disregard the twelfth gap.
Daly’s authentic rating for the opening was proven as 17, earlier than he handed in his scorecard formally recording an 18-over 88. Thankfully for Wild Factor, there’s restricted protection of the PGA Tour Champions and there’s at present no footage and restricted knowledge from his spherical.
The 1995 Open champion already had two of the seven highest scores ever recorded on a single gap in PGA Tour historical past. Through the 1998 Arnold Palmer Invitational carded an 18 on the par-5 sixth gap at Bay Hill, whereas he withdrew from the 2011 Australian Open after plopping six balls into the water on the eleventh gap.
Angel Cabrera led the Sanford Worldwide after the primary spherical with a six below 64, 24 pictures forward of Daly.
