A Daly occurrence

John Daly turned a bad break into something much worse, then walked off the golf course at the Australian Open. Not long after Daly withdrew Thursday, the PGA of Australia said he no longer was welcome in two weeks for the Australian PGA Championship. Daly put seven shots into the water on the 11th hole at The Lakes. The 11th is a 577-yard hole that hugs the waters. In 1998, Daly hit six balls into the water on the sixth hole at Bay Hill in the final round and made an 18, the highest score he has recorded. The only thing that kept Daly from breaking his record at the Australian Open was that he ran out of golf balls. He would have been playing his 16th shot. Instead, he handed over his scorecard and stormed off the course. – Associated Press
