Gruden doubles as John Daly caddie

| | Comments (0) |

This is from the Associated Press. Always something with John Daly.

John Daly walked along
the path from the 18th
green Thursday as a dozen fans chanted his name. Turns out the cheers
were for his caddie —
Jon Gruden.
The coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was carrying the bag for Daly
after a 2½-hour rain
delay at the PODS Championship, where Daly was 3 over at the turn and
toward the bottom of
the pack.
It was not clear what happened to Daly’s caddie or how he hooked up
with Gruden.
The fans who remained after the storms heard that Gruden might be
caddying, and some
whispered, “It is him,” as they walked off the green. Gruden didn’t
help Daly read putts and
stayed some 20 yards short of the green.
And with fans calling out to him, he kept his head down — just like
Daly.
