Report: Daly collapses, taken to hospital
By Golf Channel Digital August 29, 2015, 9:53 pm John Daly collapsed and was taken to a hospital for tests Saturday, according to a report on Yahoo Sports. The report said Daly, who collapsed on the 18th tee while playing in an event at Deerfield Golf Club in Canton, Miss., was taken to Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss. Zack Hamm, an emergency room technician at Baptist Medical Center, confirmed to Yahoo Sports on Saturday night that Daly was there and being evaluated. He said there was no further update on Daly's condition. The Associated Press reported that a friend of Daly's, Billy Allen, who was with Daly at the hospital, said the two-time major champion's vital signs were good but doctors were checking on possible injuries to his ribs and fingers. Deerfield club pro Leigh Brannan, who was at the tournament, said Daly was having trouble with the heat and had some difficulty breathing before being taken to the hospital, the AP reported. Temperatures were near 90 degrees in the Jackson area. "He was struggling pretty badly right before he collapsed," Brannan said. "But we're all hoping it's nothing serious and that he was just a little dehydrated. He was even telling [Allen] he still wants to play [Sunday]." |

Feel bad for my man JD. He's waited all this time to get to 50 and have some consistent chances on the Sr. Tour. I hope he's OK

I hope all is well with JD, but lets be honest. Would any of you actually be surprised if he didnt live to an old age??

Apparently, JD had a collapsed lung, possibly related to an old rib injury...

Apparently, JD had a collapsed lung, possibly related to an old rib injury... Yeah, it's from falling off the wagon so many times. |

He was back on the course today and seen smoking up a storm on the patio by the pro shop before his round. I sure would like to see him on the Champions Tour. You can't help but love the guy but he has sure abused himself over the years and that does not bode well for along life. Although my Mother in Law smoked like a chimney and lived to be 87 so who knows but the Lord when he will make that call.
