Golf-Daly in meltdown after taking a 10 on par-three

By Mark Lamport-Stokes

KOHLER, Wisconsin, Aug 14 (Reuters) - John Daly had the latest in a long line of meltdowns when he hurled a club into Lake Michigan during the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday.

His control of the club toss was masterful. If only he could have controlled the ball as well at the par-three seventh, where he ran up an ugly 10.

Daly's tee shot appeared to end up in either Lake Michigan or thereabouts in the hazard, and his next two shots met with similar fates at Whistling Straits.

Finally, with his seventh shot, following three wayward blows plus three penalty strokes, the 49-year-old American managed to keep the ball in play.
