FARMINGDALE, N.Y. _ John Daly wore white, pinstriped, Yankees-themed pants, smoked cigarettes between shots, kept a diet Coke handy and fist-bumped fans between holes.
All of that would have been fine with him on Thursday at Bethpage Black, but something even more unusual than all of the above gnawed at Daly when it was over.
For the first round of the PGA Championship, he drove a cart around a course that usually does not permit them even for amateurs, and he wished he did not have to.
