SYDNEY (AP) — John Daly walked off the course at the Australian Open after hitting a number of balls into the water on the 11th hole at The Lakes.
Daly was 7 over after 10 holes Thursday after appearing to be upset with a ruling on the 10th that penalized him for grounding his club in a hazard. He casually putted out on the 10th and took a triple-bogey 7.
On the 11th, he hit ball after ball into the water, some landing in the center of the pond, before a tour official joined him. Moments later, Daly shook hands with playing partners Craig Parry and Hunter Mahan and walked off the course.
