John Daly double-bogeyed his final two holes today to finish the first round of the PGA Championship at Hazeltine in Chaska with a 6-over-par 78, then withdrew from the tournament, citing a back injury.

Great! Tim Herron is 1st alternant to get into this major if some other golfer drops out for some reason. John "goofball" Daly, decides to play, pulls another melt down and thusly screws Tim Herron out of a chance to compete in this major.

Daly completely lost it out there. What a shame that this walking circus still draws a crowd and still can't get it together. His last two holes, he seemed to miss putts on purpose, then he quit. And yes, Herron got screwed bigtime by the supposedly love-able loser J. Daly.

Time for this flash in the pan to quit. Enough is enough. How did he get in front of Tim anyway?

I hope Daly gets rid of his demons. It's a shame to waste that golf talent.

And Daly could also have contended with a 2 or 3 under. Glad John showed up. Herron can go play at Wayzata CC where he had the silver spoon all his life.
