He jumped out to a roaring start Sunday and hung on for dear life with an eagle on No. 1 and birdies on Nos. 3, 7, 12, 13 and 15 before bogeys on Nos. 16, 17 and 18. He watched his final margin of victory shrink to one before he finally captured the victory.
Kyle Porter of CBSSports.com noted Daly didn’t have a top-10 finish in his 21 events even though “many presumed [he] would rock the senior tour because of how long he still is off the tee.”
He now has a victory under his belt and will look to parlay the momentum into future victories.
