Friedman: After four rounds in the 60s, Daly may never wash those crazy pants.
Gorant: He continues to reaffirm Michael Bamberger's belief that JD is a golf sage.
Friedman: Here's JD's post-round Twitter: "i knew it was going to be difficult winning because every time I made a birdie Vancsik did but I had my eye on second place & thats a start."
Evans: Daly is back. I'm picking him to get a top 10 at the British Open. The clothes are great on him.
Herre: Yeah, Daly looks like the XXL version of Ian Poulter.
Shipnuck: The only difference is that Poulter has style.
Evans: Does Poulter have style because he's thin? Big John is doing the best with what he has.
Van Sickle: It'll be shocking if Daly doesn't file for bankruptcy before the year is over. And the growing financial pressure on him, having played his way off the tour and out of sponsors' good graces, isn't going to help his game. I'd love to see him play his way back into the top 100, even if continues to wear the clown outfits, but I don't see it happening.
Bamberger: The threat of bankruptcy is likely the best thing that's happened to JD in years. Now he's got to go out and make golf scores again, and there's no reason to think the skill just vanished.
Lipsey: John Daly on a driving range, no matter what he's wearing, would attract more fans than Henrik Stenson battling Ian Poulter to win the Players.
Hack: Said it a few weeks ago, and I'll say it again. John Daly is the third most popular player out here, behind Woods and Mickelson. The rest of the guys are just guys.
Gorant: Those three and Wie are about the only ones who move the needle outside hardcore golf fans.
Shipnuck: I think Boom-Boom is still the third most popular, and Daly is a distant fourth.
Van Sickle: Azinger might be up there if he still contended.
Friedman: We need Rory to be the next LeBron.
Van Sickle: McIlBron!
Gorant: LeBrory!
