Daly Smashes Fan's Camera


Bad boy John Daly did his best Stevie Williams impression in Sydney, Australia Thursday when he smashed a spectator’s camera into a tree. Daley, en route to a 6 over par 78 in the Australian Open, was on the ninth hole – his last of the day – when he pushed a tee shot off the fairway. He stomped into a clump of trees where a spectator tried to take a picture of Daly at close range. Daly snatched the camera and smashed it against the nearest tree, telling the man, "You want it back, I'll buy you a new one." He later released a statement via tournament organizers saying the spectator put his camera within six inches of his face. “My eyes are still burning from the flash of the camera,” Daly said. “I feel it was very rude to put a camera that close to somebody's face in any situation. The guy that had the camera had already taken a dozen shots at close range." Daly took a penalty drop, finished the hole with a bogey and stormed off the course immediately after signing his card. Australian PGA officials are reviewing the incident and could impose a fine or other sanctions against Daly.
