Daly had reportedly delayed his surgery so he could play in the PNC Championship on Sunday with his son, John Daly II. The father-son team tied for second despite Daly’s knee issues, which changed his golf swing, Golf Digest reported. The outlet noted that he had trouble transferring his weight from his right to left side.
“I’ve probably had more surgeries than Tiger,” Daly told Golf Digest. “They just keep adding up over the last five years. But when I get this metal put in this knee, hell, I got more metal than the Bionic Man does.”
