Dec 18 Dalyhell

By Toby Kee, TG Staff Writer

Fans’ favourite John Daly has spoken for the first time about his nightmare year that saw him lose his US Tour card.

The big-hitting American failed to pick up a cheque for more than £50,000 at any event. He suffered several injuries and his wife Sherrie was jailed fro five months after admitting fraud.

He said: “The injuries killed me this year. I had sciatic fever in my back and that cost me six or seven weeks and then, later in the year, I broke my little finger. It was just one thing after another.”

He will rely on sponsor’s exemptions for 2007.
