1991 — THE DALY SHOW

Crooked Stick Golf Club,
Carmel, Ind.
Winner: John Daly

Then—unknown John Daly, with his mullet and trucker's mustache, was the ninth alternate in the field the day he heard he'd moved up to first alternate. Daly packed his clubs and drove seven hours from Memphis to Indianapolis, just in case. When Nick Price dropped out, Daly was in. Then he dazzled: Averaging 303 yards per drive, he attracted Double-D-sized galleries, whipping up the crowd with his wild fist pumps. He was on cruise control during his final-round 71. "All four days, I didn't think. I just hit it," J.D. said. "Squeaky just said, 'Kill,' and I killed it. I just hit it so good this week, I had no fear out there."
