Llanelli Star

Wild Thing, you made Ash’s hearts sing

-

TWOTIME Major winner Jon Daly has visited Ashburnham Golf Club to mark the club’s 125th anniversar­y.

The man nicknamed Wild Thing entertaine­d the crowds in his own unique way as he played an exhibition match at the Llanelli links.

Daly, who won the 1991 PGA Championsh­ip and the Open four years later, wowed the locals with some extraordin­ary ball striking. He then took part in a Q&A before joining in with local band The Lost Comets on lead guitar and sang a few songs.

Daly was very compliment­ary of Ashburnham, saying: “I loved it and the back-nine layout was awesome.”

Club captain Ian Thomas, who played with Daly, said: “The occasion was truly memorable and a fitting way to commemorat­e the club’s 125th anniversar­y.” John Daly tees off at Ashburnham.
