John Daly made his return to golf last weekend and was donning a new look. He not only lost a few LBs, but he is now wearing some pretty loud clothing.
Not that John Daly needs any help attracting attention on the course, but he was certainly making his presence known last week in Spain. You might even say he was giving Ian Poulter a run for his money when it comes to fashion-forward ensembles.
Daly wore several styles from LoudMouth Golf’s line of over-the-top pants while he played at the Open de Espana. Wednesday he sported an orange-pink pair, called “Raspberry SureBet-A,” (why, yes, they were) which showed off his newly-slimmed down figure. Thursday he opted for a more subdued black and tan style.
We can only hope that this week he’s planning to wear the “Disco Balls” or better yet the “Aloha Girls” style.
Want to tell Daly what you think of his pants? He’s been twittering about them. (And if you want them for yourself, you can purchase them through Daly’s site and part of the money will go to his charity.)
Tiger Woods – You would think that the 2001 Players Championship winner would be a pretty safe bet…wouldn’t you? Consider this – Tiger does not have a single top 10 finish in this event since his win, his best finish being a tie for 11th. Add in there is current struggles on the tee box and well…it doesn’t exactly lead me to believe that this is his year. But then again, I’m not one who is willing to bet against Tiger..no matter the situation.
Phil Mickleson – What does Phil have to do to get respect? Everyone thought it was to win a major and he’s obviously done that. But I was watching a report on the golf channel the other night and they asked several pros if Phil was number one in the rankings would they consider him to the best player in golf? The answer…unanimously was…NO!!! Poor Phil. Even though he is at the top of his game right now, this isn’t going to be his year to win again.
Sean O’Hair – Last week’s winner at Quail Hollow will find it tough to go back to back, despite his strong record at TPC Sawgrass. Unfortunately I don’t even see a top 10 in his future this weekend.
Zach Johnson – Zach had the lead going into Sunday at Quail Hollow before the proverbially wheels came off the bus early in the round. Look for Zach to make a good run at this year’s championship.
defending champion beat Paul Goydos in a playoff last year after not having any finish better than 15th prior to last year’s event. To date Sergio has not had a finish better than 13th. Could we see a repeat?
Anthony Kim – Did you see the Masters in April? 11…count ’em…11 birdies in one round. Kim has great skill and a killer putter. Look for him to be up front early, but he will drop back on Sunday as he does most of the time.
As the bell rang, the gates flew open releasing 19 of the most graceful beasts you will ever see compete, bumping and jarring their way into position. One horse was sandwiched between two others right out of the gate, nearly tripping and he eased off falling several lengths behind. 
Being a Lakers fan I cant believe what I am saying, but if I have to deal with a 41-41 Bulls team and of course Joakim Noah for another 10 days I will freak out.
