John Daly makes the day of a young fan at the Open Championship

Daly is one of the most beloved golfers. His fans adore him and he gave them a sweet surprise by playing at the British Open despite his knee troubling him. Last year in the month of December, Daly got his knee surgery done which he had been postponing for some time. And surely it has left an effect. Daly has complained about his knees swelling up after 10 to 11 holes following the surgery. As a result, this year he only played in a handful of PGA Tour events, and on the Senior Tour only nine times. Seeing him at Royal Liverpool this week is a big treat for his fans who have been long waiting for this occasion. And while there, he made a young fan’s day.
