"Details were a little unclear from Minnehaha Country Club, where the PGA Tour Champions does not have a laser system to record shots. Daly did not immediately respond to a phone call and text from the AP. According to the shot-by-shot details, he hit his tee shot into the rough, and then hit the next seven shots into the hazard. He finally cleared the water into more rough, his 17th shot on the collar of the green and got up-and-down for his 19."
"It broke by three shots the previous high score for a hole on the PGA Tour Champions by three players, most recently Bruce Crampton in 1996 at the Greater Grand Rapids Open. Unlike his previous high score at Bay Hill -- Daly made a birdie 2 on his next hole -- he had to settle for a par on his 13th hole at Minnehaha. Daly wound up with an 88."
John Daly took a 19 on the par-5 12th hole at the Sanford International at Minnehaha Country Club, establishing the PGA Tour Champions single-hole scoring record. Shot-by-shot details show he hit his tee shot into the rough, then hit the next seven shots into the water hazard before finally clearing the water into more rough and getting up-and-down for the 19. The score surpassed the previous Champions high by three shots. Daly finished the round with an 88. He was playing with Stephen Ames and Ángel Cabrera, with Cabrera leading the tournament at 64 while celebrating his 56th birthday.
