daly double?
So is it possible John Daly can win back to back tournaments, after not having won a PGA tournament in 9 years (he did win in Germany and Korea during that time)? Well, don’t look now, but John shot a 64 at Riviera and is now 10 under after two rounds. He’s trailing Mike Weir, who’s at 12 under. Tiger is way back at 4 under.
Of his 64, John said it was the best ball striking in his life. And he seems to be rolling the putts incredibly, averaging a little over 25 per round. Frankly, if John Daly is this year’s Kenny Perry and pulls off multiple wins, it will be the biggest story in golf. The only thing that could top that is a major by Phil.
My current theory on John’s amazing play: his new Dunlop irons, putter, and golf ball. (The driver and 3 wood are Taylor made, and sand wedges by Cleveland.) As luck would have it, Dunlop just signed Daly to a contract last month. He’s only had these clubs for a short time, but he said today that he’s hitting everything pure and the distances are perfect. When you are lucky to find clubs that seem to fit you immediately — the look of them and the feel of them just seem right, you can gain amazing confidence of being able to dial in your shots. Daly apparently has found his “perfect” clubs. This could be an amazing year for him if he keeps it all together. Visit Dunlop’s site for more about his new clubs. Dunlop lucked out with Daly’s win.
