John Daly Shares All the Details About His First Hole-in-One of 2022

For many years, people waited for John Daly’s reign to begin again. As he blasted his way into the sphere of global golf with his 1991 PGA championship victory, he did it yet again at the 2021 PNC Championship, defeating Tiger Woods of a historic comeback win.

Nevertheless, his time is finally here, as he also began his 2022 with a bang, by smashing a hole-in-one at the Red Hill Country Club.

Fresh off beating the Woods’ duo in the last month of 2021, John Daly continued his excellent run by stunning us all with the ultimate shot in golf; an ace. Currently, in Rancho Cucamonga, California, he was playing a round at the Red Hill Country Club in the company of his sponsor Christopher Leggio when the amazing moment arrived.

Meanwhile, the time Daly hit an ace barefoot

Yes, you read that correctly. For those thinking hole-in-ones are too overrated, the original long-hitter once made one with no shoes on! At a charity event in Glen Allen, Virginia, 2020, Daly, then 54, delighted the golf world by smashing his 11th tee shot into the hole.

Luckily for fans, another member happened to be recording at that very moment, giving us some superb footage for a lifetime. At the end of the video, he revealed his ace count, saying, “That makes 11 of them… ,” stopping himself short of cursing as soon as he notices the filming in progress.
