What was your favourite moment of The Open 2022?
Admittedly biased, but Cam Smith's par save at the Road Hole on Sunday. Backed his skill with the putter and didn't try for too much with the 3rd shot.
Cam Young’s putt on 18 for eagle. I know it wasn’t a winner, but if Smith dropped a shot at all those last 3 holes then that putt would have gone down in history.
Other than that, Smith on 17 was absolutely nails. He WON that championship, Rory did not lose it.
@N P wholeheartedly YES! Cam was unbelievable last week!
@@aussierhino471 A "strapping on a pair" moment for sure 🏆
@@shREDhead44 💯 Rors played a solid round, but was no match for Cam the mad lad.
I spent some time with John when I was covering the Hong Kong Open as a journalist in the mid-1990s and he was everything you could have expected and more, a warm loveable guy with great stories and a phenomenal striker of the ball. It's good to see him on such fine form.
Mad lad
America USED to be full of guys like John Daly; you can't not love the guy! Enjoy him while he's still here folks, because not only is the America we all admired from afar DONE, but absolute legends like John Daly are tragically few and far between.
Americans arnt really to be admired , most think there shit dont stink .John Daly should be Australian, he can laugh at himself couldn't care less what others think.
🤙
John daly is such a great character 😃
Cool guy 😎
Lee was right. Cameron Smith is the best putter in the world. He showed it Sunday
🎯
He also showed it Friday--setting record for most feet of puts made in a round….204ft….out of 300,000 rounds played. Pretty extraordinary,
John Daly is one of if not the realest golfer ever! Will forever be a hero of mine. Such a laid back and genuine guy and a breath of fresh air
He's a mad lad
John Daly is such a National treasure. Pity PGA doesn't recognize it. Kind comments from Lee. Great discussion.
I love the banter between these two guys. "Lee's mid-irons are great. That's why he almost wins a lot." Slayed me. Lee just grinned. More prima donna type guys wouldn't have grinned.
Lee's pretty chill...both were having a good time and didn't mind a bit of a ribbing.
John Daly has to be one of the most naturally talented golfers in my time. Imagine if he did practice a little leading up to and during events, always makes me wonder how many more tournaments he would have won.
He can definitely golf his ball 💪
Thats what tiger actually has told john once, a famous story. John told tiger: relax man, have a drink with us while you practicing so hard all the time
Tiger replied: if i was as talented as you’re I wouldn’t have to.
@@1shpendi love that story when he tells it. Always ends with “I kicked his ass….” Ha
It was Lanny Wadkins (not Lehman) who outrageously picked an over the hill Curtis Strange instead of the Open Champion John Daly for the 1995 Ryder Cup. Happily, Strange collapsed against Faldo, enabling Europe to win.
🤙
How John doesn’t have a MASSIVE LIV deal cut out for him is beyond my comprehension
I second this wtf
Mad lad
JD and Adam Scott, I’m shocked they’re not signed…
JD wanted to go to LIV and apparently they told him he was too old.
John talking about new balls going straight nearly on their own...I'd say he needs to see my damn driver shot...looks like a damn f-18 fighter jet doing a hard right turn hahahaha
JD is one of the greatest draw of all time even though he only won two majors! It’s a testament to his down to earth attitude and humbleness.
It's common knowledge among the tour guys that if he was vigilant in his practicing and much more moderate in his drinking, Daily had the natural talent to have been one of the best.
Only two majors? 99% of tour golfers would love to have a single major, let alone two.
@@mikefoley5792 heard the same about Ernie Els
complete bullshit
I LOVE THE MAJORS WHEN EVEN PAR WINS. MAKES IT SO EXCITING.
😂
JD - one of the most naturally talented golfers EVER. And great value too. Westy always comes across so well. Would have loved him to win a major.
Both top boys
Always great to listen to John talk golf.
Agreed 😎
JD - "All I know is I won in 95." Classic.
🏆
Daly has Curtis Strange summed up perfectly.
Le douche
Yep. I met Curtis back in the mid 70's. He played for Wake Forest and the ACC Championship was being held at the club I grew up playing (MacGregor Downs) and I was around 15 at the time. He was an arse then (trying to use mild language here :D) and apparently nothing has changed over the years.
I’ve worked security with Curtis - he’s a complete arse!
Daly is a savage for his comment about 10 handicaps and golf balls
😂👏
Lee was worse, you want ones thar float...
That was awesome Ray two of my favourite all time players 👏👏👏 john is always funny and Lee has a good sense of humour too, I agree with Lee on John's chipping so good, cheers Ray 👍👊👏🇦🇺
Lee's sense of humour is underrated. Very dry, which a fair few people don't pick up on.
@@yourgolftravel 👏👊👍 legends
John was getting drunk so they had to cut it off...Lol..Love the guy!
Haha, unfortunately we only had 45 mins of each of their time. Wish we could've kept going!
We can watch it and make up our own minds. Fuck off
Amazing how well.John.Daly. has played over the years. E xtremely talented for sure. Can still bomb the ball for sure!!!
Great to see this interview
👊
It was absurd and an embarrassment that JD never got picked for a Ryder Cup.
Was interesting to hear his thoughts on why he wasn't picked. A shame too, he would've brought a lot to the event.
@@yourgolftravel Seriously? Because he is a severe ongoing alcoholic. He is a risk in a category that does not need to take on that risk. John offers nothing to winning that others can supply with much better percentages. And who aren’t severe alcoholics. The Ryder Cup is about winning. It’s not an AA meeting. 😏
The mind games that we would see. Imagine teeing up after a guy slams a beer and spits that fair way . U.S. wouldn't of gotten as smacked as we did
Perhaps, but I don't think that JD could have handled the pressure of 3 days of Ryder Cup. If things had gone wrong for him, he would have melted down. That's OK for medal play, but in a team event it would have been a disastrous distraction. Spots on a Ryder Cup team were too valuable to risk JD just walking off in the middle of an event.
@@kyle381000 That's fair. I like the guy, and he's clearly been a great player, but there's a whole person there.
Lehman wouldn't take that chance, and it's a defensible position as a captain, in my opinion. Would've been interesting though. In today's climate, there's NO CHANCE you don't take him.
He WAS popular, a rebel, bombed it, had a great short game, and was passionate. Fans today would dictate to bright tv executives that the aforementioned characteristics make him a necessary participant.
My Dad was on the same airplane as Curtis Strange back in the 1980s and he told me that he was really rude to the stewardess because he had to wait to be served. The stewardess told him to wait as she was serving other passengers and he shouted at her: "But I am Curtis Strange!".
Seems to be quite a few stories of CS not being the nicest guy floating around!
You mean Strange Curtis !
I never cared for Strange Curtis. Just something about him that put me off. Good to hear he’s a dick.
That’s odd of Strange!
Isn't he dead?
JD has probably the best short game in the PGA!! He always amazed me at how good his Wedge game is.
saw him warming up at the Masters hitting lovely soft lob wedges WITH HIS LEFT ARM ONLY
Cam Smith's putt on the 72nd from the Valley of Sin. The line from the right was so awkward, getting it that close was miraculous.
Baller
John Daly is probably the most naturally talented golfer that's ever lived.
Yes. It's takes a scary amount of hand and eye co-ordination to be so good with such a massive over swing. And such a beautiful deft short game.
Fred Couples and Boros are both right with him
Super talented!
@@theholyearthgod1363 Julius Boros, my favorite from ancient times. Great player, humble man, may God rest his soul.
Ballesteros. He won stuff.
John Daly handled himself extremely well during The Open. He should continue like this as he remains one of the most liked and cherished golfers of all time.
Mad lad
The fact that jd probably had jd or another drink in one cup (watch him drink from one glass then the other) is class!!!
There's levels to this game 😂
Really?
John Daly looks like Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazard
Better at golf though
I loved Big John back in the day and love him even more now
Absolutely a good dude
He's a top lad
Mad lad
At first glance I thought Uncle Jessie had made a comeback! yee haaw brilliant
😂
I can see it now...The Dukes of Hazzard remade with JD as Uncle Jesse. Paige Spirinac as Daisy (WOW) and JB Holmes and Bubba Watson as Bo and Luke. IIRC, Bubba can bring his own General Lee!
Awesome video!
💪
Brilliant really funny 😄
Cheers Barry, glad you enjoyed it bruh 👊
Well done Raymondo!!!!
👊
Holy mackerel, Johns on my channel in the fall ! Can’t wait!
Enjoy the ride
Wonderful chat lads... I remember Ernie Els saying John Daly had some of the best hands in the game he had seen... grip it and rip it..👌🏽
Coming from a short-game maestro like Ernie, big praise!
Tiger woods says that also
I used to carry scoreboards and sometimes caddy in the practice rounds for the Pebble Beach PGA event formerly known as the Crosby Invitational. I can confirm that Curtis Strange was an incredible horses ass. I carried the scoreboard for his group in the late 1980's and everytime he had a bad shot or missed a putt he would find someone to berate and insult or blame. It was similar to how John McEnroe used to act in tennis. Outof the 100's of pro golfers I interacted with, Curtis Strange was by far the worst asshole.
I grew up in Wlliamdburg VA and lived in Kings Mill when he also lived there. It was known he was an ass
To be honest I am surprised American's continue to tolerate these boopy stars that live in secured mansions behind gated walls, don't work for a living, contribute nothing at all and then take their lives which is an overhead cost to the economy and make working people pay for it. The poorer the average American becomes the more prize money and salaries for pro athletes and their criminal owners. Pull the plug
who else were assholes on tour? and who were the nice guys?
I always found Curtis to be nothing but a gentleman and a great tipper.
2 Great guys chilling out 👍
3*
Brilliant absolutely amazing loved it
Glad you enjoyed it bruh 👊
Nice to see Rory doing the interview
Cheers James 👊
Yes Rory!
Great Interview Rors!! JD spot on about the ball. It's become ridiculous on the Pro tours. Will allow the old classic courses to get back into action.
There are other considerations re which courses they use. Remember the tours are looking to make money and get as many fans in the stands as possible. Can't necessarily do that with all older, tree-lined, classic courses, unfortunately.
Fantastic entertainment thanks
Thanks for watching Rob.
Great interview Rory, 2 legends of golf with wonderful stories. Totally understand why John 'dislikes' Curtis Strange, heard the story about the putting green when he was a rookie and Strange try to belittle him 😉😒😆
Nobody puts Daly in the corner
Curtis strange is easily the worst golf announcer in history.
Love Daly, great character of the game, had his troubles and came out the other side. Lee is a top bloke who says it how it is, and that’s my opinion. 👍
He's a mad lad...lots of love for JD
This is the John Daly we know and love.
😂🤣😂🤣 The way lee is holding his Mic
🥴
Got to love Big John, has anyone heard him singing and playing guitar, he's very talented, shame Lee never won a Major.
Lee tried to talk him into it 😂
Not yet
They are absolutely right about the golf ball!
💣
My daughter and i walked along Daly's round in the am of the US Open at Baltestrol. It was sip, smoke, flick, hit and amazing. Very few people in the morning round. It was a blast. No we did not bother him.
He’s a big time talent
Greet one this Rors 👍🏼👌🏻
👊
Interesting interview
👍
Other than winning alot of money on cam becoming champion. This was superb 👏
👊
even after reading the video name i still thought who's the old guy with the beard, thoroughly enjoyed watching that thanks.
🫵✊
My Dad and Stepmom owned the hair salon at the old El Conquistador Sheraton Hotel in Tucson in the 1990's. My dad( a golf addict) per request went to Johns room to cut his hair and said he'd never seen anyone smoke so much in just a few minutes. John told my dad that that was the fastest haircut he ever had lol. We still laugh at that.
those two were half cut! great interview with guys who aren't you themselves
Lee was there straight from the course and had one glass of red wine. Can't speak for what John got up to before turning up though... 😂
JD is a character indeed
Mad lad
Love how LIV golf has different formats. Looks like fun
🤘
@@yourgolftravel So you support Liv because an ambassador of yours is a member now?
"Bring the ball back a few notches" (absolutely)
For amateurs too? Or just the pros?
@@yourgolftravel Both I guess. Otherwise amateurs will have advantages going after course records, and generally be able to claim better feats
Daly is a throw back to when the Tour had characters, not cookie cutter country club types. They're talented as hell, but where is the charisma, the individuality, the interesting histories?
Would say there's a good amount of decent characters on tour these days...
Rory - Honest to a fault ✅
Brooks - Doesn't give a 🙊s and honest to a double fault ✅
JT - Good bants ✅
Phil - Mad as a box of snakes but good viewing ✅
Etc etc
Raymondo... big time host now!
Nice job.
Thank you sir 👊
Never liked Westwood but if he's a Daly guy, I'm in. John workin two cups from the floor.
Lee's a top bloke. Dry sense of humour which is lost on a lot of people but just as down-to-earth as the big man. Both were great to spend some time with at the 150th.
@@yourgolftravel I couldn't agree with you more. He's also the definition of longevity imo
What are you on about, why haven't you liked him? I've got to hear this..
Lee is a super guy, not pretentious or an ego manic at all.
the second is a chaser...to clear his throat
This was cool lee is just an icon in Ryder cup history
Baller
Daly is a legend .
Can you let John Daly know i can drink and i will pay half of his tab if i can play at the JCB with him hahahaha
Could be a hefty tab bruh 😂
Fabulous it's a ten from me!
Haha cheers Kevin...glad you enjoyed it.
Love Big John, if he says a guy is an Asshole I believe him.
JD could be a character on Cheers.
I was carrying a scoreboard (as a 16yr old) in Curtis' Strange group at Colonial in Fort Worth in 1984 and would typically ask golfers for a golf ball or glove at the end of the round walking off 18th green. Every guy gave me a glove including Bill Casper, Lee Trevino, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Weiskopf and Gene Littler but Strange just scowled at me and said "You think these are free? Go buy your own" and when I asked for a ball he tossed one over the green and into the water and said "Go get that one". So I looked and him and said "Fuck you Strange" and walked off.
In 1974 Curtis Strange was a teenager. Crenshaw was in his first full year. I think you're full of shit.
@@Jim_Harwood Typo 1984. 100% true
well done Ray
👊
@@yourgolftravel need you on the muppet tour. Guest appearance ???
Think of it like baseball. Were allowed to play with metal bats THRU College and amateur ball, however come higher levels go to wooden bats. Scale back the golf ball and maximize tournament scale Drivers to 360ccs. Fact smaller heads at length swing faster. Its uo to the player to make solid contact and make the shot required
The notion that these guys can't hit it flush with a smaller head is nutty.
IMO, it will never happen as the equipment manufacturers have spent too much money to make the clubs easier to hit and make the ball go further. When big money is involved, it talks loudly and no manufacturer would want to see their previous offerings obsoleted. That is, unless a bifurcation occurs, where the pros equipment is scaled back and the general public is not affected. But then, who would want to play "what the pros play" anymore?
@@Diogenes-ty9yy #BiggerPicture
Dead are the days of shot shapers. Wacko Niemann and Scheffler are all thats left in todays PGA scale. Everybody else are straight-swinging robots who cant force a shot when necessary
I look at it more like, after college, you go to wood (to keep consistency in the record books), so pro golfers should return to hickory shafts 🙂
Funny - I carried the scores around for the 1991 PGA championship and my first group was Hale Irwin, Fuzzy and Curtis. JD is right about Curtis. As teenagers my brother and I never heard more cussing from Curtis during that time and blaming his score on Pete Dye.
Sounds like a douche
IIRC, Curtis was a child of privilege, learned to play at a country club, parents had money, never had to learn to do without. Also, made some comments when Tiger hit the Tour, like "he'll learn it's not as easy as he thinks." Always thought he was a real prick.
@@Diogenes-ty9yy Ahh the classic "you'll learn" interview. Safe to say it was Curtis who learned. 😂
While playing The Heritage Club in Mason, Ohio, a Pete Dye, Jr. layout, I can say ten additional strokes where added to my scorecard, thanks to tricked up greens and pin placements. I've always rooted for Lee to win a major, and for John to make it to aged 60.
@@Diogenes-ty9yy What tour pro doesn't grow up with privilege? 95 percent of them have never, ever had a job. Probably never had to cook their own meal, or even do their laundry. Their only other claim to fame is which country club blonde gets their credit card.
They shouldn’t have bleep out the swearing, makes it much better
😂
He's SOOO right about young people. If they'd be on golf during their video game time, they/we'd ALL be better off. I still played my violent sports, but golf was great too...Especially very young by the highway on the 2nd Tee where I could purposely slice it into the street..HILARIOUS at the time. I know it was fucked up now.
John Daly would be 1 of 3 players to go on a holiday for everyone that likes to party, as long as they don't have to pay his tab.
Pro game now is driver and PW! Even on 500 yards par 4!!
Do you even watch golf?
The whole video is well worth a watch, but if you're looking for the story about who JD hates it is at 36:33.
A fair and balanced comment on the internet…mad respect bruh ✊
Thx ☺️
I wish this was hours 😪 was great while it lasted though.
Just watch it on repeat...problem solved! 😂 (In all seriousness, we obviously had the guys for a limited amount of time, with both having plenty of other commitments to fulfill, including playing the weekend for Lee!)
If I were Lee I'd have fallen in line and said - without a doubt Curtis Strange.
Answer at 36:30
Plenty of other questions to be answered along the way as well...that's the nature of a Q&A 😂
@@yourgolftravel True, watched everything. Baited like true media, though, with that title.
@@cyclepowered8799 You could say the same for every question and answer in 38 mins of content unless it was simply titled "We asked Lee Westwood and John Daly some questions" - Not sure you'd have ever found the video if we did that 😂
@@yourgolftravel Exactly, thank you. You knew nobody would find the video so you baited it with the only question of 38mins of Q&A that would make anybody click the video. You're no dummy...you know what you did. hahaha
Ernie Els won the Bay Hill Invitational in 1998, not 1997, as what Lee stated. It was Phil Mickelson who won Bay Hill in 1997
🤙
Dam I didn’t realize Lee never won a Major. He must be the best player to not win
💯
Him or Monty
Well said. Putting is 50% of the game.
Only if you're as good as those guys. 😂
Lee is right, grass roots golf is the way, investing in the youth
👊
Daly is improving with age. I won a fortune on JD in 1995.

Sounds made up.
Ha ! Curtis Strange.

@@yourgolftravel perfect! 😂
Hang on, was this Lee's 150th Open?!?!
He's not that old... 😉
Curtis Strange…….right on JD
Seems to be a fairly universal opinion 😂
At 36:39
Cam was 40:1 in Vegas... what a great bet eh?
Should a golf course be dependent on weather to make it really a challenge? When guys are banging out 64’s all week somethings not right.
I heard it was an Open record for scores in the 60’s.
What if anything can they do to toughen it up... more traps in play at certain yardages or lengthen it somehow.
Note- would love to see a tournament where they have to play with the old equipment & balls as a lark.
Cry some more.
I bet Scottie to win The Masters in 2022. Placed the bet in September 2021 at 45 to 1 in the mgm Sportsbook.... Boom! Also had Cam at 33 to 1,so was pumped going into Sunday!
@@jgfunk
👍🏼 nice
It would be a lot cheaper and more beneficial for everyone involved to just go back to older balls. You're talking about massive changes and billions of dollars versus a ball change.

Which one bruh?
St Andrews Of Course
WHY??? Does John have 2 cups??? Because ONE is straight liquor & the other is for a lil sip of chaser...LOVE him, drink the same way for multiple reasons (only one is that mixed shit will trick u & I wanna know how much I'm downing cuz I know the steps & my limits of which there are a few limits I'm willing to deal with in public lol). Legend..Mainly cuz he's superhuman on the course but even more cuz he does it while being that NORMAL cool guy we all know or are...So structured, never be another ONE. Taking a shot of Vodka right now!!
Big John is a great American and Razorback. Lee is a classy chap.
Both mad lads
Don't get the obsession with numbers. 150 isn't any more special than 149 or 151.
Nothing wrong with sentiment.
@@yourgolftravel They should have played the course in the original order and direction. It's a MUCH better course that way around
