Earlier this month Daly withdrew from the Allianz Championship but not before tossing his putter into a lake on the 7th hole. The American now insists the incident was not as it seemed. Stating it was a mistake, as he didn’t realise his caddie’s hands were full when he tried to throw him the club.
“If I throw a putter, it’s going to be in two pieces, not one,” Daly told a reporter afterwards. “And it’s going to be 50-yards in the lake, not five.”

Cut to this weekend in Naples, Florida and Daly once again proved he’s not your typical golfer. After landing on the edge of a water hazard at the 17th during the Chubb Classic, Daly decided to hit the shot rather than take a drop. Not totally unheard off. But while most golfers take off their shoes, socks and roll up their trousers Daly opted to just walk right in. Did someone mention alligators?!?!?!
