John Daly Cards 19 on Par-5 to Set PGA Tour Champions Record

A scorecard correction at ShotLink-free Minnehaha made the 19 official.

Overview

  • Shot-by-shot accounts say Daly drove into the rough on No. 12, then hit seven consecutive shots into penalty areas before getting up-and-down.
  • The 19 is the highest single-hole score in PGA Tour Champions history, breaking the previous mark by three strokes last matched by Bruce Crampton in 1996.
  • Daly signed for an 18-over 88, with the other 17 holes played in 4-over par.
  • With no laser tracking in use at the course, precise sequencing relies on eyewitness reporting and the finalized scorecard.
  • He played alongside Stephen Ames and Ángel Cabrera, with Cabrera leading the event after a 64 on his 56th birthday.
