Couples gives advice to Daly

FRED COUPLES, a friend of John Daly’s, yesterday said he hopes Daly listens to the criticism coming his way stemming from recent incidents, including disqualification from last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational after missing his pro-am tee time.

“One of two things is going to happen,” Couples said. “He’s either going to look at what everyone is saying about him and say, ‘Maybe they’re all right,’ or he’s going to keep doing what he’s been doing.

“I’m not bashing John Daly. I think he’s got more talent than 85% of the players on tour; he just needs to find someone to get it out of him. I look at him as a golfer and he should be doing better than he’s doing.”
