Overview
- John Daly II, 22, made his PGA Tour debut as an amateur at the Puerto Rico Open on March 5 and finished T37 at seven under par.
- He briefly led for six holes on Saturday after a surge that included five birdies and no bogeys in Round 2 and an eagle at the 11th on Saturday.
- Five bogeys on the final back nine stalled his bid for a top-10, which his father described as a tough finish to an otherwise strong week.
- Returning to college competition, Daly II tied for fourth as Arkansas won the All-American Intercollegiate in Houston by 12 strokes, their third team win of the season.
- He has not announced plans to turn professional and can accept PGA Tour starts as an amateur, which would require forfeiting any prize money.
