Daly uses Tampa coach on the bag

PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) -John Daly walked along the path from the 18th green Thursday as a dozen fans chanted his name. Turns out the cheers were for his caddie - Jon Gruden.

The coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was carrying the bag for Daly after a 2 1/2-hour rain delay at the PODS Championship, where Daly was 3 over at the turn and toward the bottom of the pack.

It was not clear what happened to Daly's caddie or how he hooked up with Gruden.

The fans who remained after the storms heard that Gruden might be caddying, and some whispered, "It is him," as they walked off the green. Gruden didn't help Daly read putts and stayed some 20 yards short of the green.

And with fans calling out to him, he kept his head down - just like Daly.
