After battling injury for much of the summer, John Daly appears to have found the fountain of youth in the Czech Republic.
The 52-year-old former major champ missed The Open because of a hip ailment, and he withdrew from the U.S. Senior Open when the USGA refused to allow him to ride in a cart. Daly also made an early exit last week from the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, withdrawing after rounds of 73-77 while again citing a hip injury.
But playing this week on a sponsor invite at the European Tour's D&D Real Czech Masters, Daly fired a bogey-free, 8-under 64 at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague to grab a share of the early lead alongside Callum Tarren and Ryder Cup hopeful Thomas Pieters.
