Pavin and Frost describe what happened with Daly

Pavin was an old accomplice of Daly and knew about his alcohol problem and how hard he was trying to get rid of it. “He gets the shakes every once in a while and he did [today],” Pavin said. He added, “I know he’s working really hard and trying to stay off the alcohol and he’s doing a great job.”

Daly also told the two about his problem while he started to tremble on the field. “He just said ‘I’ve got the shakes,” Frost stated. He added, “I think we did what anybody else would have done if it were them playing with him. It’s a tough thing that he’s going through.”

The reporters tried to take a statement from Daly about the incident too. But the golfer refused to say anything about it. Daly parred the 15th hole, hit a birdie at the 16th one, and wrapped up the game with a 3-par-over 74.
