[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ○..."My son has surpassed my driving distance."

This is the pride of John Daly (USA), the 'former long drive king.' On the 2nd (Korean time), Golf.com USA reported Daly's interview with entertainment media TMZ. Daly said, "I can no longer keep up with my son in driving distance," adding, "He hits the ball so hard, flying 300 to 305 yards." He continued, "I think I passed on the talent to my son," and added, "My son's shots make a sound that many players do not have."

Daly is the player who quickly rose to world stardom by winning two majors, the 1991 PGA Championship and the 1995 The Open. He was the first in PGA Tour history to average 300 yards in a season. He has won 5 times on the PGA Tour and 10 times worldwide. However, he was often involved in controversies due to rough play on the course and issues off the course such as alcoholism, gambling, domestic violence, and divorce. He currently plays on the Champions (Senior) Tour.

Daly Jr. was born in 2003 to Daly and his fourth wife, Sherry Miller (USA). He first held a golf club at the age of two. From the 2016/2017 season, he won nine junior tournaments. On the 28th of last month, he was recognized for his skills by finishing runner-up at the DynaNational Junior Invitational held at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana. Not only his golf skills but also his appearance and fashion style are just like his father's.
