John Daly is an absolute legend.
The two-time major winner was playing in the Trump Touring Pro Weekend at Trump Doral in Miami, but that’s not the only fun that Daly was having. He belly-flopped into a pond that potentially had alligators in it.
But as JD pointed out in his caption, they’re no match for this lion:

Then just a week later on Dec. 18 at the PNC Championship, Daly showcased an incredible warmup routine, which featured a cigarette, a couple of Diet Cokes and none of the following:
Team Daly, the defending champs, just teed off. They’re four shots back.

And this is why we love John Daly, this is why he’s a legend.
It’s so great, because I’ve always been a fan of golf movies like Caddy Shack and Happy Gilmore, and John Daly — God bless him for it — brought those comedies to life. (RELATED: John Daly Sings ‘Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door’ At FSU Tailgate, And His Performance Is Sublime)
Like the example of JD jumping into a pond despite alligators possibly being in it, and then following it up with a flex on Instagram calling himself a lion. That is totally a scene out of a golf comedy.
I mean, seriously, how can you not love this guy?

Never change, JD. Never change.
