Vancsik wins as Daly comeback gathers pace

Argentina's Daniel Vancsik won his second European Tour title today - but what will have golf fans really talking is the fact that American John Daly finished joint second in only his second event back from a four-month lay-off.

Vancsik, who took the 2007 Madeira Island Open by seven strokes, won the BMW Italian Open in Turin by six after a superb closing round of 65.

Daly's 66, though, lifted him from 11th into a tie for the runners-up spot with England's Robert Rock and Frenchman Raphael Jacquelin.

The 43-year-old former Open champion, down at 794th in the world, is still serving a six-month US Tour ban after being put in jail to sober up late last year and in February underwent gastric band surgery which has already brought his weight down from 20 to 16 stones.
