John Daly II captured his first collegiate victory on Monday. And it came in crazy fashion.
Following in his famous dad’s footprints by playing at the University of Arkansas, the redshirt junior shot a one-under-par 139 for two rounds to win the Columbia Spring Invitational. Getting to that total required an incredible late rally.
Congrats, John Daly II!

After shooting even par in the morning round, Little John found himself at five over with five holes to play. That’s when he went on a ridiculous 2-3-3-3-3 run of six under over his final five holes.

Daly, 21, finished tied with Yale’s Matthew Lin and Dartmouth’s Tyler Brand, but but won in a scorecard playoff. Yale won the team title, finishing four shots in front of Arkansas.
