Everyone is hoping the big man is OK
John Daly was taken to hospital in an ambulance yesterday after collapsing near the end of a round of golf in Mississippi.
Daly's friend, Billy Allen, was with the former Open champion at hospital and said that while his vital signs were good, doctors were assessing the big hitter for injuries to his ribs and fingers.
The 49-year-old was taking part in a small event in Deerfield Country Club and was seen to have been having difficulty coping with the 90-degree heat.
Club pro Leigh Brannan said Daly had been finding breathing hard during the round.
"He was struggling pretty badly right before he collapsed," Brannan said. "But we're all hoping it's nothing serious and that he was just a little dehydrated. He was even telling (Allen) he still wants to play (Sunday)."
