John Daly, forever my favorite trainwreck, does not like his picture taken, especially if he is having a bad round and lately that's been pretty often. Daly was playing the opening round of the Austrailian Open Thursday, shooting a 6 over 78. On the 9th hole Daly pushed his tee shot into the trees, and while heading off to find it, spectator Brad Clegg tried to take a picture at close range.
Daly snatched the camera and smashed it against the nearest tree, telling the man, “You want it back, I’ll buy you a new one.” Without saying another word, Daly took his penalty drop, finished the hole with a bogey and stormed off the course immediately after signing his card.
He later released a statement via tournament organizers saying Clegg got too close.
“I was looking to take a drop and a camera was 6 inches away from my face. If I was 10 under, I would have felt the same,” Daly said in the brief statement. “My eyes are still burning from the flash of the camera.
“I feel it was very rude to put a camera that close to somebody’s face in any situation. The guy that had the camera had already taken a dozen shots at close range.”

This time Daly was right because terms and conditions for tickets at the Australian Open prohibit the use of cameras on the course for spectators.
The picture is the guy and his smashed camera, the video is pure gold, Daly at his very best, shirtless, shoeless and playing golf wearing a Razorbacks hat. I wouldn't recommend watching it full screen.
