For those that think the RBC Canadian Open should extend an invite to John Daly, consider whether he’ll even play a full two rounds at Glen Abbey. After all, with a score of 8-over par and having just lost a golf ball, Daly withdrew with “back pain,” from this week’s European Tour event:
Big John explains what happen via the Twitter Machine:
“Over exerted on Hole #7 which caused me to have a “SPRAINED LIGAMENT RIB” in with the Doctor now….SERIOUS PAIN !” …
“POPPING IT back in tomorrow at noon they don’t want to do it now because of the swelling!” …
“Doc says that he can’t believe I played 10 more holes!” …
“Tour Doc says about 3 days” (source)
I say give the invite to someone deserving, rather than have Daly simply withdraw after 1.5 rounds as he did in Hamilton a few years back.

how many WD’s has JD had? the dude was legitimately hurt. why the hate? maybe focus on something more relevant.
No more JD please!
During his commentary today with Renton Laidlaw at the Open de France he said he’s coming to Canada after the Open Championship. I for one would love to see a healthy Daly tee it up at the Abbey.
Hey pal,
Played the new and improved Scar. G&CC last Thursday and loved the changes.
I met you buddy Ian Andrew (played behind he and Rube). Great guy to chat to.
Hope all is well. Want to play?????
