Wow, John Daly withdrawing from the Open Championship after struggling in the first round is quite the turn of events. Shooting an 11-over 82 with no birdies and a quadruple bogey on the final hole must have been a tough day for him. It’s unfortunate to hear about his knee injury leading to his withdrawal, especially after his previous departure from the PGA Championship. Daly’s colorful personality and on-course antics have always made him a memorable figure in golf.

It’s interesting to see that Daly will be competing in the Senior Open next. With 11 top-25 finishes this season on the Senior Tour, he seems to still have a competitive spirit despite the recent setbacks. It’ll be intriguing to see how he performs in the upcoming tournament at Carnoustie, Scotland. Hopefully, he can bounce back and show his skills on the course once again.

Ernie Els seems to be in great form heading into the Senior Open! Leading the Charles Schwab standings with seven top-10 finishes and three victories this season is quite an impressive feat. It looks like he’s a strong contender and one of the favorites for the upcoming tournament. It’ll be exciting to see how he performs and if he can continue his success on the course. The Senior Open is shaping up to be a competitive and thrilling event with players like Els in the mix!
