"John Daly made it into the PGA Tour Champions record book Friday for the wrong reason. The two-time major champion took a 19 on the par-5 12th hole at the Sanford International. Daly also broke his personal record by one shot, after he took an 18 on the par-5 sixth hole in the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational when he hit 3-wood into the water six straight times. 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."
John Daly, a two-time major champion, took a 19 on the par-5 12th hole at the Sanford International on the PGA Tour Champions. He broke his personal single-hole worst score of 18 set at the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational. Shot-by-shot details indicate a tee shot into the rough followed by seven shots into the hazard, a clearance into more rough, a 17th shot on the collar and an up-and-down for 19. The 19 exceeded the previous PGA Tour Champions single-hole high score by three strokes. Daly finished the round with an 88. His highest single-round score on the PGA Tour was 90 in 2014 at the Valspar Championship, which included a 12 on the 16th when he was battling the yips.
