American golfer John Daly is well known for his extravagant lifestyle, and his flamboyant outfits on the golf course. The two-time major winner hits it a mile on the course, but it's rare that he competes these days.
Every now and again he appears with some good play, or has a quote that makes many laugh. Unfortunately this isn't one of those times.
Whilst playing at a local tournament in Canton, Mississippi; Daly collapsed on the 18th tee and was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung. His manager released a statement on his health:
Daly has fought a lingering rib injury since 2007 which recently has been causing severe pain and has affected his breathing.
He has been discharged from the hospital.
The club pro at the tournament said that Daly had been struggling with his breathing and the heat all day before he collapsed. We wish you well John.
