| Summary: | WILD THING John Daly took his army of fans on another rollercoaster ride as he charged up the leaderboard before slipping back down and settling for a third-round 70 to lie on six under par going into today's final round. The Old Course at St Andrews is not only the home of golf, it is also a second home for Daly as these were the links on which he lifted the Claret Jug in 1995 when he beat Costantino Rocca in a four-hole play-off for his finest hour. Daly is known for his fast living, a fiery temper and dubious dress sense, and has faced a constant battle against gambling and alcohol addictions. Nonetheless he is adored by the punters, who backed him heavily at 150-1 for a sentimental second Open triumph this week. |
