Watch: Fan says ‘I could do that’ to John Daly’s wild shot at the Champions Tour event

John Daly had a disappointing outing in the first round of the PGA Tour Champions Hoag Classic as he carded a 3-over 74. During his round, he mishit one tee shot, which was recorded by one of the fans along with his hilarious reaction.

On the first day at the Newport Beach Country Club, one of Daly's tee shots failed to get the proper launch and distance and veered to the left side. While the shot was disappointing, one of the fans' reactions made the clip hilarious.

"I can do that," one fan yelled after the veteran golfer shanked the shot.

Daly had a forgettable day at the office before he made a little recovery in the end. He made two double bogeys and three bogeys in the first ten holes. If it were not for the four birdies in the last seven holes, he would have finished way worse.
