John Daly claims first win since 2004; gets a tweet from Donald Trump and soaked with champagne
John Daly may be a two-time major winner but his latest win may have been his sweetest.
The US golfer hadn't won a PGA event since 2004 but yesterday the 51-year-old two-putted his way to victory at the Insperity Invitational.
His first win in 13 years was also his first PGA Tour Champions win - which gave him every cause to celebrate.
And celebrate he did.

And it would seem Daly has friends in high places, as he received congratulations from US President Donald Trump.
