Daly show to make it a memorable Masters
FORMER US PGA and British Open champion John Daly has been given a late invite to next week’s 30th anniversary Australian Masters - but will he remember his one previous visit to Melbourne’s Huntingdale layout?
Daly, who is playing this week’s Hong Kong Open, which is co-sanctioned by the Asian and European tours, contacted Masters organizers at the weekend seeking a start at the tournament.
