With all of the grief John Daly gets from the media, he should finally get a pat on the back. I know, I know...he finished at 29-over-par. But the JD we're used to would have withdrawn after nine holes on Thursday. Daly's desire to stick this one out shows something.
Last year, JD withdrew, by my count, from six tournaments. In the face of his struggles, terrible weather, and all of his discomfort, Daly's perseverance at Birkdale should be recognized.
