Do loved-up golfers play better?
American golfer John Daly has had a big week – getting engaged and winning his first title in 10 years.
The dual Major winner carded a 15-under par total to win the Beko Classic in Turkey, a three-round pro-am event.
Married four times already, Daly announced earlier this week that he had got engaged to longtime girlfriend Anna Cladakis.
It begs the question – was Daly’s drought-breaking triumph a victory for love?
