John Daly Masters Update: The Long Drive Legend Tweaked His Knee After Someone Crashed A Car Into His Bus

Socrates Johnson7 years ago

It was only just yesterday that I was waxing poetic about John Daly and his Masters tradition of hawking swag outside of an Augusta Hooters.

Here I thought that the long drive legend was primed to have himself a nice, peaceful weekend. Sell some shit, take some pictures, kiss some babies, and maybe even enjoy a refreshing alcoholic beverage or two. Little did I know that the universe isn’t fair and that sometimes bad things happen to good people. Sometimes you have your bus parked outside of a high-quality sports bar dining establishment, just out there minding its own business, when a car comes out of nowhere and crashes right the hell into it.

From Golf Channel:

Daly, who sells merchandise from his RV each year during the Masters, was standing in front of his RV with his fiancée, Anna Cladakis, when the accident occurred.

“It whaled into the front of the bus,” Cladakis told GolfChannel.com. “John dove out of the way, he tweaked his knee.”

Cladakis said medics treated Daly’s knee and the five-time PGA Tour winner planned to have an X-ray and MRI to assure there was no damage. He’s scheduled to play next week’s PGA Tour Champions Mitsubishi Electric Classic in Duluth, Ga.

“He’s still playing,” she said.

The accident occurred around 11 a.m. ET, when a women traveling westbound on Washington Road attempted to make a U-turn and lost control of her car.

Of course he’s still playing. He’s John fuckin’ Daly. Just look at him, rocking all red everything. Cool as a cucumber. That’s the John that I know. He probably dusted himself off after diving out of the way all Bruce Willis-like, walked over to make sure the driver was all right, chain smoked a couple cigs, and got right back into slinging that sweet, sweet merch.

A lesser, mortal man would’ve caved and called it quits. But not John Daly. He’s an immortal legend. You can throw anything his way, and he’s bouncing back, 100 times stronger than ever. Shit, they call him The Lion for a reason. Because he’s the king ’round these parts. .
