THE WOODLANDS, Texas – John Daly made a 25-foot putt on Saturday at the last. At last.
“I needed that one,” he said walking off the green. “First one I’ve made today.”
Daly birdied the par-4 18th in Round 2 of the Insperity Invitational to finish off a 1-over 73. He dropped to 1 under for the event, six off the lead at the time he signed his card.
Prior to the start of the tournament, Daly had lamented his short game, particularly his putter. After needing 31 putts on Day 1, he took 35 on Day 2 – and that’s with three less greens hit in regulation.
