In conversation at ESPN’s documentary ‘Hit It Hard’, Daly revealed the rather unbelievable tale of his wonderful performance. And surprisingly, he gave credit for his performance at the LA Open to alcohol.

“I never had any alcohol on the golf course that I remember, except for one time, and that was the LA Open,” he said. “It was so slow and I played the back nine first. I think I’m two or three over…I went into the locker room and downed like five beers, and I think I shot four under on the front nine.”
