John Daly is one of the most electric sports figures of our generation. Big John has went through some definite ups and downs throughout his professional career. That said, Daly has been riding high for awhile after quitting alcohol and just enjoying copious amounts of cigarettes and Diet Coke. For the first time since 2004, he won a professional golf event taking the Champions Tour Insperity Invitational. It’s great to see a guy like him get in the winner circle again.

Daly did not make it easy on himself with three bogeys on the final holes, but he did just enough to win the tournament. I love the fact other golfers or his guys came out after winning it and showered him with champagne. That’s fantastic and very John Daly. I’m guessing not a lot of other golfers would have that celebration take place. This is also good shine for the Champions Tour who gets a guy like me writing about it when to be honest, I can’t tell you the last time I thought about the tour itself. Also, you know you’re a big deal when President Trump is giving you a morning tweet as well.

Congratulations to @PGA_JohnDaly on his big win yesterday. John is a great guy who never gave up – and now a winner again!

In other golf news, the Wells Fargo Championship was a beaut of a tournament. I would be remiss if I didn’t at least give it a mention. It came down to the wire with Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm, Pat Perez all gunning for the title, but Brian Harman drilled a big-time birdie to give himself his first win since 2014.

Good week of golf, boys. Let’s do it again this weekend at Player’s.

Charlie.
