Tim Rosaforte has a great article detailing John daly’s relationship with Bruce Harmon. It seems after years of pandering and enabling and burying heads in the sand, people are finally realizing how close to total self-destruction Daly is and are staging various levels of one-on-one interventions. From the article:
“Soon after, John was spotted at some parties, singing “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” with Meat Loaf and doing excessive amounts of the things Harmon said he wouldn’t tolerate. There were rumors of a suspension and of rehab, and the following week Daly met with PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem at Torrey Pines. Privately, Harmon said he was done with Daly, but with Daly there always seems to be one more chance, and Butch gave him one.
They met last week in Las Vegas and the conversation didn’t revolve around shortening Daly’s backswing or how to cozy a 90-yard wedge shot to a back-right pin. “We had a man-to-man about changing his personal life,” Harmon said Tuesday from the Titleist Test Center in Carlsbad, Calif., where he was working with Adam Scott. “I told [John] to look in the mirror to see the guy who’s causing all the problems. On tour, he needs to stay on his bus, stay out of the Hooters and the bars. I told him, ‘If you can’t do that, we don’t have a deal.”
Harmon added, “I gave him one hall pass. One is all I’m going to give him.”
Next, my Golf Observer Colleague, Art Spander, has this article on Phil Mickelson, the forgotten man in everyone’s rush to hand Tiger Woods the Grand Slam without even firing a shot.
Finally, Arjun Atwal, the PGA TOUR player who was involved in a horrific high-speed crash last year while racing on a public road near Orlando, has learned that the death of his racing opponent, John Noah Park, has been ruled a vehicular homicide. The matter has been sent to the state attorney’s office for further investigation. This bodes darkly for Atwal, who will spend the next five weeks on the Asian Tour before returning to the Nationwide Tour.
