Mired in a financial mess, there was two-time major champion John Daly selling memorabilia across from the most famous golf club in the world, Augusta National, during Masters week. Daly's been in worse situations, but this scene had to be disheartening for fans, family and friends who've stuck by his side during his well-documented slide into a state of disrepair.
"I don't have one sponsor right now," said Daly in an exclusive interview with the NY Post that ran the Thursday The Masters began. "I'm on the verge of bankruptcy with the bad economy and the loss of sponsors. I don't want to go that route."

At the age of 9, Alex Cejka and his father fled communist Czechoslovakia, escaping by heading west through three or four countries. The journey was more like a 'vacation' for Cejka who said at the time he really didn't know what was going on.
He and his dad got away on foot, by train, by bicycle and they even swam across the Rhine River. They wound up in Germany, where they settled in Frankfurt. That's where Cejka really picked up golf, getting his first clubs and taking his first lesson.

The last we saw Sergio Garcia, the 29-year-old Spaniard with a penchant for speaking his mind was looking disinterested if not downright disgusted as he wallowed his way around Quail Hollow Club.
Sergio shot an unflattering 78 to miss the cut Friday, and he didn't need to discuss his round with the media once he finished in order to convey how he was feeling. His body language said it all. Instead of looking like a multi-millionaire with a world of talent, his gait resembled that of an undergraduate trudging to an 8 a.m. Philosophy lecture they'd put off until second semester of senior year after quarter draft night.

With the set fading to black at Bay Hill in mid-March, Tiger Woods knocked out Sean O'Hair with one of his trademark big money putts on the 18th green. At Quail Hollow, O'Hair played the part of Manny Pacquiao leaving Woods resigned to the role of Ricky Hatton, dizzied and dropped to the canvas by a young player on the rise and a golf course in major championship form.
It was sweet revenge for O'Hair, who was quickly branded as the latest in a string of PGA Tour players to crumble under the weight of Woods' considerable legend after he flamed out at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
