John Daly has retired from the Australian during the first round after hitting no less than 6 balls into the lake from the 11th tee. Two-time major winner Daly quit after hitting six balls into the water from the 11th tee at the aptly name Lakes Golf Club.
We all know that Daly has previous. He smashed a spectators camera at the same tournament in 2008 and only 2 months ago walked off during the second round at the Austrian Open.
“I would say this is the last time we see John Daly at this tournament,” said tournament director Trevor Herden.
Brian Thorburn Australian PGA chief executive added “I’m extremely bitter and disappointed. It’s becoming a bit of a habit.”
Daly tweeted: “When you run out of balls, you run out of balls.”
But this was not the view of the tournament director.
“If you run out of golf balls and are acting in a professional manner, you would call the course officials and we would replenish his stock.”
Daly, nicknamed ‘Wild Thing’, continues to attract invitations to tournaments around the world despite failing to win a title since 2004. However following this latest controversy his invitation to the Australian PGA Championship has been revoked, along with his appearance fee.
