The “Daly Double” Wins… The 2021 PNC Championship In striking fashion with a new record breaking score over the 36-Hole tournament, John Daly and his son John Daly, Jr. finished the 18th hole at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club with a solid birdie winning this great family event with a total 117 score, 27-under par (60-57). Celebrate Family was the message of the week and that message ran deep with ever shot for these families. It is such an emotional time for all that are playing with comments that they enjoy this tournament more than any other tournament on tour throughout the year, because the family is competing with the players, in a unique 36-hole scramble format. The message was clear to many people that this was going to be an extraordinary year with the announcement that Tiger Woods would be in the field with his son Charlie. Just a little over 10-months after his traumatic crash and leg injury,

the final 12 holes on Sunday, finishing with a score of 57. “One goal we had this year, was keeping a clean score card… no bogey, only par or better and we accomplished that goal,” Tiger said, responding to the press after the event. There was an absolute genuine moment on practice green on Saturday, when Lee Trevino started giving Tiger Woods a chipping lesson. Or just listening to the stories being told by Gary Player about all the adventures from the 86 year old Icon about the game of golf was worth following this twosome. I think the message to everyone attending and watching these great players play this week... of “Celebrate Family” was well represented at the PNC Championship.
