What happened
John Daly once suggested that he could not even bring himself to watch the US Open at Shinnecock Hills back in 2004 due to the condition of the golf course, as he commented on whether he felt that he had the game to win the event at some stage. The US Open is generally the major which offers the toughest test of the season for the world’s greatest players.
