Daly, 56, told PGATour.com of his plans to undergo left knee
replacement surgery Wednesday, a mere three days after Sunday's
conclusion of the PNC Championship. Daly had his right knee
replaced three years ago.
"It's tough when you don't have a follow-through," Daly said.
"I'm basically just trying to stay on one leg. But the
adrenaline of playing with my son will get me through."
Daly and his son, John Daly II, were in Orlando, Fla. to defend
their title at the PNC Championship, which pairs a PGA Tour or
Champions Tour golfer with his son or father in a two-round team
event.
Team Daly combined for a 13-under 59 on Sunday and finished tied
for second at 24 under, two strokes behind winners Vijay Singh
of Fiji and his son Qass Singh.
Daly, a two-time major champion, is allowed to use a cart on the
Champions Tour, but he said he would prefer to be walking the
course.
"I'm not embarrassed to take a cart. It's not helping my golf
game by any means," Daly said. "I would rather walk and play
golf because then you have time to settle down on a good hole or
a bad hole and you're walking instead of just getting in the
cart and going up and hitting the shot. It's actually a big
disadvantage. But if I could walk, I'd definitely do it."
