Tears were rolling down his face and he was visibly shaken.
A recovering alcoholic who entered a rehabilitation centre as recently as last year, Daly was given two jackets to wear and was consoled by his playing partners, Corey Pavin and David Frost. Daly, 32, was on the 15th fairway at the Northview Golf and Country Club when he suddenly broke down. WITH NO warning, John Daly broke into a cold sweat and began shaking uncontrollably during Thursday’s opening round of the Greater Vancouver Open in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. But, while he and Bjorn were romping round, Justin Rose, the 18-year-old Hampshire prodigy, was missing the cut by a wide margin after a 79 for 149. He has missed the cut in all of his four European Tour events since turning professional following the Open Championship..

Unfortunately the official statistics showed that he had only 35 putts.Bjorn, who added a 67 to his first-round 64 for a 13-under-par aggregate of 131, has little doubt that Montgomerie will soon be back to his best. “You will not hold Colin down for a long time,” said the Dane. “He is far too good a golfer for that.”Bjorn, in contrast to the burly Scot, was all smiles. His bad run began at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, and he also missed the cut at the European Open in Dublin last week.After a round yesterday that included two double-bogeys and three bogeys, Montgomerie was man enough to talk briefly to the press but too confused to get his facts right “I had 41 putts today, and that says it all,” he said. Montgomerie, who shot 75 yesterday to finish with a three-over-par 147, had not missed two successive cuts since 1991 when he went out early at both the European Open at Walton Heath and the European Masters in Switzerland. Martin Whittacker, head of Ford’s European motor sport operation, said: “The leadership at Stewart Grand Prix knows well enough what it has to do They need to push themselves.

I believe there are advantages having two teams with our best engines because internal competition is good But right now we don’t have that intention.”. But 1991 was the year in which he missed the cut eight times in 28 tournaments before he going on to become the greatest golfer on this side of the Atlantic.
Now, in the space of six weeks, the man who has been European No 1 for the past five years, has failed to qualify for the last two rounds in three of his last five tournaments. COLIN MONTGOMERIE, missing the half-way cut for the second week running and finishing his second round 16 shots behind the leader, Thomas Bjorn, was a forlorn figure at the BMW International Open yesterday. Ford are said to be growing impatient for more progress, but Jackie Stewart maintains he has no intention of walking away and no knowledge of any attempt to force him out.”There is no drama,” said Stewart “I am here to stay.

We are having more involvement with Ford and some of their people are working with us but that’s the way it should be. I’m building up a business here and we have made a long-term commitment.”Stewart are in the middle of an exclusive five-year contract with Ford, but the motor company admit they may consider a change of policy in the future. We are quite competitive but I’m not sure if we can make the front row. Even so, we should be very strong in the race.”Eddie Irvine, in the other Ferrari, was seventh and Johnny Herbert, of Sauber, was 10th.

Stewart-Ford’s Rubens Barrichello and Joss Verstappen were 13th and 16th respectively on a day when the team’s owner was denying suggestions he could be pulling out. “I was running quite well until the end of the session when I touched a wet section on the kerb and spun off. The team did a fantastic job to repair the car for the afternoon.Schumacher said: “Conditions were tricky in the morning because the track was slippery and Jacques’ accident proved that safety standards have increased a great deal. David Coulthard, in the other McLaren, was third fastest.”I didn’t go out at the beginning of the session this morning as the track was drying very quickly and we decided to wait,” said Hakkinen.
