John from Middletown, New York

Question: John, did you have a great time at the Dunhill this year?

John Daly: It was great being back at St. Andrews. Obviously, I would have had an even greater time if we won the event, but it was still a great experience.

Wes from West Allis, Wisconsin

Question: John, did you enjoy playing with Mark O'Meara and Tiger Woods in the Dunhill? Were the three of you able to bond off the greens?

John Daly: It was fun being on the same team with Mark and Tiger. We had a chance to practice together after the rounds and generally get to know each other a little better.

David from Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Question: John, do you have a set program of shots you practice and does that change with any particular courses or tournaments?

John Daly: I switch each day. Some days I will warm up with odd numbered irons and other days I will warm up with the even numbered irons.

Tom from Buffalo, New York

Question: John, who influenced your approach to golf when you were learning the game?

John Daly: Basically I taught myself to play by watching Jack Nicklaus on TV and reading about him in magazines. I have never really had any formal instruction.

Mike from Seymour, Indiana

Question: John, I read that you just switched to the new Calloway steelhead driver. If this is true, is there much difference?

John Daly: I am using the Steelhead 3 wood and have been working with Callaway to get the exact Steelhaed driver to fit my swing. I am very proud of the new Steelheads and think Callaway will do very well with them?
