John Daly was taken to the hospital to be treated after collapsing on the 18th hole while playing a course in Mississippi on Saturday, according to a report.
Yahoo Sports’ Pat Forde says Daly was playing at Deerfield Golf Club in Canton, Miss. and collapsed on the 18th tee box. He was taken to Baptist Medical Center and was being evaluated.
A friend told the AP that Daly’s vital signs were good, but he was being checked for possible injuries to his fingers or ribs.
“He was struggling pretty badly right before he collapsed,” club pro Leigh Brannan told the AP. “But we’re all hoping it’s nothing serious and that he was just a little dehydrated. He was even telling [Allen] he still wants to play [Sunday].”
The 49-year-old played in the PGA Championship and missed the cut after shooting a 73-82.
We’re wishing Daly a healthy recovery. Even if he proudly boasts that he doesn’t work out, this might be a warning that he needs to get in better shape.
