1991 – John Daly’s Cinderella win at Crooked Stick
If you pitched this story to Hollywood, it would be laughed off as impossible to believe. Daly, the ninth alternate, drives through the night to play after Nick Price withdraws to be with his expecting wife. Daly proceeds to hit 300-yard drives without fear of Crooked Stick’s many hazards, taking the lead with a third-round 69 and cruising to the victory while downing Diet Cokes and sporting an epic mullet. Caddie Jeff “Squeaky” Medlin , who was Price’s regular bagman, helps guide Daly to the win.
