"Watching my son golf is life": John Daly reacts to video showing difference between his and son's Golf swings

John Daly is a proud father, as his son, John Daly Jr., is competing in the Jackson T. Stephens Cup.

The 2023 Jackson T. Stephens Cup is currently taking place at the par 72 Trinity Forest Golf Club. John Daly II, a sophomore at the University of Arkansas, completed 36 holes on Monday, October 9, carding scores of 70 and 67. His 5-under 67 helped him finish the day at T7, trailing the lead by three shots.

The Golf Channel shared a clip on X (formerly known as Twitter) comparing Daly Jr.'s golf swing with that of his legendary father, John Daly.

Daly Senior reposted the video and wrote:

"watching my son golf is life…."

Both father and son have played together at the PNC Championship, winning the event in 2021 with a then-record-breaking score of 27-under for 36 holes, defeating Team Woods by a two-stroke margin.

Daly II began playing golf at a very young age, and by the age of ten, he was already competing in tournaments and joining his dad on the tour. Prior to his university days, Daly II was recognized as the 2021 Second Team Rolex Junior All-American and received an honorable mention as a Rolex Jr. All-American in 2020.

In August 2021, he was ranked 29th by the Rolex American Junior Golf Association and was also the third-ranked junior in Florida, according to the AJGA. Daly Jr. finished as the runner-up at the 2020 Dai Junior Golf Invitational, which was held at Crooked Stick in Carmel, Indiana.
