John Daly is a face we don't hear much about lately, but this time he caught the attention in a bizarre way. Namely, the 59-year-old made great achievements in his career, but appearing in the first round of the Sanford International at the Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, he disappointed the fans of this sport.
Daly was four over par when he reached the 12th hole. The famous golfer then experienced something that no one could have expected.
It took him as many as 19 strokes to finish the hole, and the 12th hole was special in that it has a long stream along the left side of the fairway, where you have to hit over the water to reach the green.
The veteran hit as many as seven shots in a row out of bounds, and once he finally put the ball on the green, he made his first putt to conclude the streak of 19 strokes.

The public reacted quickly, and most believe that this is probably one of the worst performances of his career. It's hard to understand why the experienced golfer played like that, but most people don't blame him considering his age, and probably other factors were hindering him when it comes to this tournament.
It is very interesting that if John Daly had played on the PGA Tour, this would be the second-worst single-hole score of all time in PGA Tour history.
John Daly and his golf career
However, during his long career, he had many infamous moments that remained inscribed in the history of this sport.
John Daly fans don't want to focus too much on that, pointing out that John has had far more success than his down times.
His age is enough of an indicator of how much he still loves the sport and how much he cherishes the love for golf.

Therefore, we doubt that any result can bring him down and destroy his love for golf.
