John Daly Cards 19 on Par-5 at Sanford International, Sets PGA Tour Champions Record

Shot logs point to repeated water penalties, with limited tracking at Minnehaha leaving some details unclear.

Overview

  • Daly's 19 on the par-5 12th is the highest single-hole score in PGA Tour Champions history.
  • Shot-by-shot data indicates a tee shot into rough followed by seven balls into a hazard before he got up-and-down.
  • The mark surpasses the previous tour worst by three strokes, a record last matched by Bruce Crampton in 1996.
  • Daly completed the round with an 88 while playing alongside Stephen Ames and Ángel Cabrera.
  • Cabrera led the event with a 64 on his 56th birthday, and Daly did not immediately respond to AP requests for comment.
