Quitting is for Quitters

John Daly

I'M BACK ... BUT WAS I EVER REALLY GONE?: John Daly announced that he would be competing in this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and that his amateur partner would be Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Due to his status as a major champion, Daly did not need a sponsor's exemption to get into the field.

Unfortunately, Daly's dramatic performance in the Torrey Pines parking lot was not recognized by the Academy Award nominating committee as it was deemed less believable than Matt Damon as a South African rugby player.
