| John Daly
was the ninth and final alternate for the PGA Championship
in 1991. He entered the competition when Nick Price dropped
out and no other alternate could make it. He then shot
a first round score of 69, without a practice round. He
finished the tournament with scores of 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 1976. |
