1991 – John Daly’s Cinderella win at Crooked Stick

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.
