Life and soul of the party
by Claudia Sonea

John Daly is a man who enjoys life and always sees the full half of the glass. For the PGA Championship he prepared by spending time in the casino and when he talked about the fact that some players came earlier to train, he revealed that he would rather stay with his family or do other things like ridding a golf cart. However, at a certain point he was the clubhouse leader by shooting a surprising 3-under 67 at the season's final major. He surprised before when in 1991 despite the lack of practice he won PGA at Crooked Stick after. The day started with Arron Oberholser and Woody Austin who were two shots behind, Zach Johnson started with a bogey and ended to a 3-over par start, Tiger Woods finished at 1-over 71, while the man of the day made close to the cut and ensured a longer stay atop the leader board. His life is as negligent as his golf game. He wrote a book in which he divulged that in the last 12 years he lost between $50 million and $60 million gambling. This year he was withdraw from four tournaments and his world ranking ended on No. 423 after missing the cut in eight more tournaments. According to him none of his failures is due to bad golf shots. Although the predictions on his performances were not that good he managed to get to all 18 holes and even made show at steamy Southern Hills. England's Graeme Storm has two-shot lead in the first round of the PGA Championship, but surprises might come along the way. Stay connected and take care on who you are betting, you never know what may happen. Enjoy!
