John Daly and Century 3 KIA Pair up Creating the Ultimate Drive Customers have longed for

WEST MIFFLIN, Pa. - March 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Professional Golfer, John Daly earned his nickname “Long John” for his driving distance off the tee.  His two greatest accomplishments on the golf course are his “zero to hero” victory in the 1991 PGA Championship, and his playoff victory over Costantino Rocca in the 1995 Open Championship.  He is the only man from either Europe or the United States to win two major golf championships but not participate in the Ryder Cup.

Daly started playing golf at age five, and attended Helias High School in Jefferson City, Missouri.  He was a letterman in football and golf.  In golf, he was a Missouri state champion.  In football he held, and continues to hold several kicking records.  After high school, Daly attended the University of Arkansas where he was a member of the golf team.

In 1987 Daly turned pro, and his first pro victory came in the 1987 Missouri Open.  In 1990 he won the Ben Hogan Utah Classic as well as tow South African Sunshine Tour pro events.

He joined the PGA Tour in 1991 and won the PGA Championship that year. This victory gained Daly a significant amount of media attention, due to the fact that Daly was the ninth and final alternate for the Championship.  Days before the tournament, Nick Price dropped out because his wife was about to give birth. The eight other alternates could not make it to Crooked Stick Golf Club in time for the tournament. Daly, playing just his third major, was able to have Price's caddy Jeff (Squeaky) Medlin caddy for him. A virtual unknown at the time, he parlayed this opportunity into a first-round score of 69, even though he hadn't had time to play a practice round on the difficult Crooked Stick course. He finished the tournament with scores of 69–67–69–71, giving him a three-stroke victory over Bruce Lietzke. Daly was subsequently named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. He was also the first rookie to win a major title since Jerry Pate won the U.S. Open in 1976.

His surprise victory provided the impetus for a cult-like fan base, composed of many people who had not been previously attracted to golf, and from that point onwards, Daly became one of the most popular players on Tour; he proved able to swell the attendance at events he played.

Daly has 19 professional wins, 5 PGA Tour wins with 2 of them Major Championships.  He now brings his knowledge of excellence to Century 3 KIA as their spokesman promoting KIA’s great line of vehicles.
