Meanwhile, during his practice session on Wednesday, Daly saw a few fans cheering for him. So while walking off, he took a couple of golf balls, signed them, and asked his son to give them to the cheering fans. This gesture made the fans happy, including a boy who was very excitedly rooting for  him.

Therefore, when asked about his memories of John Daly, “His beard,” said the young boy. “And winning the Open in, I think, 1995.” He further described his long beard and said, “It’s brilliant, looks like Santa.” This brilliant gesture from team Daly at St. Andrews won the hearts of people who came to watch them play.

Meanwhile, 56-year-old Daly is not the favorite to lift the trophy this week . He is in the twilight of his career and perhaps wants to enjoy the game. However, his son, John Daly II, is making a name for himself with a decent performance in college golf.

He was also the primary reason Team Daly won the 2021 PNC Championship, the father-son event held each year in December. So, joining his dad in St. Andrews will be an incredible learning experience for the young Daly.
