Long gone

John Daly entered the weekend at the Target World Challenge in a tie for sixth, his sights set on a paycheck larger than the $192,134 he made in 21 starts on the PGA Tour this season.
But the fan favorite shot rounds of a 5-over 77 Saturday and 8-over 80 Sunday to finish last in the 16-player field at 9-over 297.
Daly came undone Sunday at the third hole, a 202-yard par-3. He splashed two balls into the water right of the green, then found a greenside bunker with his next. A sand shot and two putts later, Daly had a quintuple-bogey 8.
Still, last place money wasn't bad, as J.D. collected $170,000.
That'll pay for a lot of chicken wings at Hooters.
