Sports events are unpredictable. Nobody knows who will win until they do, just like they don’t know which fan would do something out of the box. Such was the case when a streaker came running towards John Daly when he won one of the most prestigious events in golf at St. Andrews. 

’19th hole’ was written across the back of Mark Roberts, the Liverpool-born serial streaker, when he ran towards Daly naked after he won his first and only Open Championship. He also had drawn an arrow pointing from the term, ’19th hole,’ towards his backside. 

It was the last time the American golfer, known for his long drives, won a major. Therefore, he might want to cherish that moment forever in his memory. However, now when Daly looks back, the first thing that pops up on the internet is the picture of him and his wife hugging after the victory and the guards chasing the streaker.

In the 150th Open Championship’s Q&A session, Daly expressed how much he dislikes the popular photo of him, his wife at the time, and the streaker. “It’s a little embarrassing,” he told the interviewer when he asked about it.
