Rewind to August 1991 and the USPGA Championship at Crooked Stick Indianapolis. Twenty-five-year-old rookie pro John Daly tees off as an eleventh-hour replacement for Nick Price and blasts his way to a spectacular and entirely unexpected victory.
Now fully updated Gavin Newsham's award-winning biography examines how that triumph which which should have signalled the start of the big time for Daly instead prompted a shocking descent into alcoholism gambling addiction and more indidents and accidents than most people encounter in one lifetime - maybe two.
He has been arrested suspended and seen his world ranking plummet to 507. Yet his no-nonsense 'grip it and rip it' philosophy has struck a chord with golf fans the world over and his length off the tee is legendary. 'It's all good because I'm still living ' he shrugs. Despite his trials and tribulations John Daly remains one of the biggest draws in the game.
