Daly still has the appetite for battle

JOHN DALY may still be known in many quarters as “The Wild Thing” but apart from the amazing clothing ensembles he sports on the golf course, he has toned things down in many other respects.

He is virtually only half the man he once was as he explains how surgery a few years ago helped him to reach his goal of keeping his weight between 190 and 195lbs.

“I’ve lost 115 to 120lbs but the gastro or lap band (the process he underwent to achieve the weight loss) is something you don’t want to do,” he advised before adding ominously: “Too many people have died from that.”
