Golf legend withdraws from PGA Championship
made the announcement via social media on Monday, saying that Daly has been replaced by Stephan Jaeger out of Germany.
Tiger Woods is another former champion that won't be participating in this year's field due to ankle surgery. Daly has always been a fan favorite, not just for his monster tee shots that earned him the nickname"Long John," but for his charismatic personality that is the total opposite of the traditional golfer.
Daly shot three-under in his first round to be tied-eighth in the field. A five-under second round, though, put him in sole possession of first place, and he wouldn’t relinquish it at the end of Saturday or Sunday. He was 11-under after a 69 on Saturday, and after shooting one-under in his final round, he beat Bruce Lietzke by three strokes with a total 12-under for the tournament.
