Golf, Murray and Daly: What Could Be Better?

That great picture of John Daly and his wife on your sports section front page this morning [July 24] reflects what golf truly is--torture!

Equally enjoyable as watching John Daly decimate the links of St. Andrews was reading Jim Murray’s weeklong chronicle of the goings on across the pond. Murray describing the vagaries of the wind-swept golf course and the frailties of those players trying to conquer it was pure Keats in a sports jacket. Neither Campbell’s miracle bunker shot on 17, nor Rocca’s endless putt on 18 nor Daly’s 35-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole could have been any more clutch than Murray’s performance in Scotland.
