One last shake of The Lion’s tail?

HIS stomach shrunk by surgery and his gambling, divorces and drinking having reportedly left him close to bankruptcy, John Daly says he is looking forward to “hitting the European Tour” next week.

Coming to the end of a six-month US Tour ban imposed after he was thrown in jail to sober up, Daly’s first tournament of the year is the Spanish Open in Girona.

From there, his planned schedule takes him to the Italian Open in Turin, the Irish Open in Baltray and then the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
