John Daly storms the Beatles hometown
The 135th edition of the British Open begins today, and the venerable tournament has returned to Liverpool -- the gritty hometown of the Beatles -- for the first time in 40 years. As you might expect, 1995 British Open champ John Daly is having quite a time (see also here) this week. The overweight, chain-smoking, beer-guzzling and problem-laden Daly turned philosophical while visiting the Cavern Club, the Liverpool pub in which the Beatles legend began:
“Music is my therapy,” Daly said. “I think for all of us it is therapy, whatever style of music you are into. If I am driving my bus, I can’t do it with no sound. The world can’t exist without music.”
The Scotsman's Alan Patullo has more here. Meanwhile, wouldn't you like to be the caddy for a day for one of the members of this twosome?
By the way, in the morning rounds, 4-under par is leading the tournament and Houstonian Steve Elkington -- who had an easier time getting into the British Open than the US Open -- had an opening round 71 (one under part). K.J. Choi of The Woodlands had an opening round 72 and Jeff Maggert -- who also lives in The Woodlands -- has not yet teed off in the first round.
