John Daly's Winning Final Round | 1991 | PGA Championship 

He just did an interview with kid rock and Tucker pretty fun listen

I just wondered what they guy in this video would think of the man he is today.

Not to mention the bloke was probably hung over 😂

A guy who’d only played a few games on the tour the year prior. He almost quite literally came out of nowhere. Seasoned pros were like “Who the hell is this guy?”

Yup never happen again not even close.

And NEVER having even seen the course before, not a single tune-up on it prior to the tournament.

@@tylermorro6663 Those are all pluses probably for him. i know I am the same, I get bored easily so everything new I perform best at.

Him and Phil are the most talented players to ever pick up a club

Genius 😂😂😂

yeah it is

There were no trees lining fairways. He could spray and get away. He would not have won that week on most courses.

@@chevy4x466but it was on that course and he did win.

@@austinlang6946 no doubt. Different courses suit different players. I can’t hold that against the man. He was a heck of a golfer. He also won at st andrews. The man is a legendary golfer.

@@chevy4x466 agreed. When he was sober “or at least responsibility drinking”, focused and confident he really embodied the idea of “just go play”. He putted like Arnold Palmer, sure blowing it by the hole 4 feet is going to snip you couple times a tournament but you’re going to make a lot more putts.

Even back then that mullet was fearless.

10:25 for those wondering

john daly ii BUT i agree with u cause his son is the opposite of him, the personality, play and character that is john daily will never be replicated or repeated

I’m sorry this doesn’t come close to those upsets you mention. It doesn’t really apply for one thing and Daly was a good player who went on to win another major. I’m not saying this wasn’t a moment in sports that anyone who saw remembers. It’s just not on the same level as the events you mentioned in any reasonable comparison.

@@Ghostshadows306 Had you EVER even HEARD of John Daly before that win in the PGA? NO! And neither had at least 95% of the other people watching the tournament, either in person, or on TV - I stand by my VERY accurate statement!

@@thomasmalloryevans2932 Had you EVER even HEARD of Rich Beem before he won the PGA? How about Ben Curtis before he won the Open? How about Trevor Immelmann before he won the Masters? How about Michael Campbell before he won the US Open? How about Shawn Micheel before he won the PGA? How about Todd Hamilton before he won the Open? Had you EVER heard of Jason Dufner or Paul Lawrie before they won the PGA and Open respectively? Those are just off the top of my head but I’m sure I can find a few more if you’d like. I’m going to assume your answer is the same as mine which is that I didn’t know any of those guys or Daly from atom before they appeared on the scene and wouldn’t remember if I did. The point however has little to do with whether I or you knew them or didn’t and has to do with the fact that they were unknowns hardly much different than John Daly. Which then begs the question how it is you can claim Daly’s victory was one of the top 5 greatest upsets and shocking wins in American sports history, when I just named 7 or 8 in the same sport, in the same time period, who played in the same events, who by all accounts were just as improbable and unexpected to win in the same way John Daly did. You’re not saying it was the greatest upset and win in major history or even in golf history. You’re saying it was one of the greatest wins (or upsets) of all time history in all sports. I don’t know but I can’t name a single fight similar to Tyson-Douglas that I watched live over 30 years ago. Nor can I remember an upset of similar significance as the Jets-Baltimore (Colts) Super Bowl which I didn’t watch (I’m not that old) but was more than just a 17 pt spread and subsequent beatdown by the Jets. It was still the AFL vs NFL in the minds of everyone at the time (they officially merged that yr or the year after I think) which added more to it. I guess the last thing I’ll say for now is that if you’re saying Daly’s win was the most dynamic, interesting and memorable out those I mentioned, and therefore it stands above them historically in some way, then we don’t disagree on anything. But if you’re saying any more than that then you need to quantify it in a way that clearly sets Daly’s win apart from the those I mentioned before you even begin to try and set it apart from all others. It just doesn’t cut it and that’s why I responded in the first place. Not because I wanted to be a jerk or rain on someone’s enthusiasm or apparent good nature. Not for any reason like that at all. I’m just responding because I think you’re mistaken.

@@Ghostshadows306 Yes, I HAD heard of EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM before their victories - you’re just not very good at this, are you?

@@Ghostshadows306 Congratulations on your opinion

I was just thinking about that too.

ya, I was a casual golfer in my teens in the 90's... and it was unbelievable watching the equipment change literally every 2 years. Taylor Made stuff and the Big Berthas kept getting bigger. Ball technology was changing. Throughout the 80's there wasn't a lot of innovation.

Yes, golf was so much better with his 50+ tournament withdrawals.

@@sludge8506 yep it was, back in the late 90's know one could hit the ball like John, even Tiger couldn't hit the ball like he did.

Modern equipments especially the Titanium Drivers should be illegal on Tour. That be like Major League Baseball Hitters using Metal Bats.

@@boogitybear2283 not even close

That’s almost everyone who played back then

@@boogitybear2283 The fuck? Bifurcated rules are for baseball.

He does have the latest equipment and is not the longest by far x age ???? Numpty

Cocaine

Very good

people use stronger lofts nowadays and the golf balls go further but I digress.

150 yard pitching wedge is still pretty far. The average pitching wedge carry on PGA tour is 141 yards

@@michaelmurray3598 you’re right, and you actually reminded me most the guys on my team had stronger lofted clubs. Not to mention we sucked ass at actual golf we just liked hitting it far

​@@bigmike-mg6fj My PW has a loft of 41 degrees. I call that cheating. I am not very strong and use my PW for 120-130 yard shots with a smooth swing. If I give it all, I think I could send it 140 with that PW. I am deeply disappointed that there are no official rules around the loft on clubs. Sure, we all have our own games. But it's annoying that there are no real comparisons anymore. When someone said that they can hit 180 yards with their 7 iron, it's almost meaningless.

I hit my top flight 7 iron 175, just got paradym clubs and hit 185ish now lol

That cobra ultramid driver with the Kevlar head was amazing but looks like an antique these days - but omg I’d have killed for one

He was the 9th alternate.

@@jimdiroffii Yes, that's right! I was thinking 3rd for some reason, but you're right he was all the way out at 9th alternate. Serendipitous!

He had not even seen Crooked Stick either. Just arrived 20 mins before tee off, signed up then walked to the 1st tee without a practice swing

@@trulymeparker Also, only like 3 of those clubs were his, most of his clubs got destroyed during his travel, and those clubs were lent to him by the pro shop. True Story.

@@trulymeparkerHe didn’t even have a caddie… Nick Price withdrew from the tournament, and Daly hired his caddie for the week

I think its because he is golf's version of Everyman. He is just an average guy that had an amazing talent.

oh legend i see a devil minion !!!

Got the chance to meet him one time at a college course where he was speaking to Young golf course management majors. Before they showed up he was taking a few swings on the par 3 #10 just behind the clubhouse. The only interesting thing about what he was doing… Is it wasn’t standing in the teebox. He was standing on the other side of the clubhouse in the parking lot hitting the ball over the clubhouse and they were landing on the green of that par 3. So yes I agree he could easily have been on the green of many par 4 holes.

I argue that if he did, he might not be as remembered as he is now

i dont think no one is in the position to judge him here . He lived his life the way he want ,he is a Legend and his life style made him a Legend ! WE LOVE YOU JD

Thanks captain obvious 🙄

Every player on tour can chip and make 6 footers. Being long and straight is the only advantage Daly had on the field. And being the longest doesn’t mean much. Daly only won on the PGA tour a few times

@@jimlahey3919 Thanks inspector gadget 🙄

@@jimlahey39192 majors. Most of the big name golfers you know would kill for just 1.

Peanut m&m's ?

Chocolate ice cream

Yes. People focus on his driving, but he won this tournament with his wedge play. He was phenomenal with a short club in his hands that week

Your name is from a lawrence leung dvd?

He and Bubba

That's what makes him such a fan favorite though. He doesn't give a fucq. Not about anybody expectations. Not about what people think about his body. He lives his life his way, not to please anybody else. Love it.

​@@skippy675 exactly

You can not care about what people think while also not being self destructive. He's a competitor like any professional. Cost himself 20 years of his dream cause he wouldn't listen.

@@skippy675 Yeah and it cost him many victories, probably several majors and his body now is paying a massive price for all of it because he can barely walk and now he'll die very young. Worked out great for sure.

@@joeldriver-sp2rg you are proving the point i made. You project your standards on the guy. What you would have done in his place. He doesn't have to live up to anybody's expectations. Lives his own life how he wants. That's what is great. He doesn't try to fit into some fake image others have in their minds.
