In the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, Daly scored an 11 on the par-4 8th hole. "The U.S. Open is not John Daly's style of golf," he said after his final-round 83. Daly incurred a penalty on the hole after hitting his ball while it was rolling back to him on the hilly green. "I've had it with the USGA and the way they run their tournaments. The USGA loves to embarrass guys who play in their tournaments."
