John Daly Toasts 'Bonus Daughter' as Love Life with Anna Cladakis Thrives
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. John Daly has never been just another golfer. From outdriving Tiger Woods while hungover to lighting up crowds with his wild outfits and on-course banter, the 2-time major champion has delivered some of golf's unforgettable moments. But these days, the 59-year-old is a bit tender on the greens. Daly withdrew from the Regions Tradition in May due to injury and finished T63 at the Kaulig Championship last month. While his play on the PGA Tour Champions is rocky, his love life is certainly not. Daly, who has been in a relationship with Anna Cladakis since 2007, took a heartfelt step forward in their long-standing romance this weekend. PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - AUGUST 17: John Daly of the United States looks on with his wife Anna Cladakis and caddie during a pro-am round ahead of the D+D REAL Czech Masters at Albatross Golf... PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - AUGUST 17: John Daly of the United States looks on with his wife Anna Cladakis and caddie during a pro-am round ahead of the D+D REAL Czech Masters at Albatross Golf Resort on August 17, 2016 in Prague, Czech Republic. (Photo by Richard Martin-Roberts/Getty Images) More Getty Images On Saturday, he posted a birthday message for Anna's daughter, Charitsa Cladakis, typing, "Happiest Bday to my bonus daughter.... LIL GRIT!" He followed it up with a proud nod to her future, "You're going to be one amazing Dr! I love you! Happy 21st!" And no doubt the message had what one can say John Daly vibes. "Time to toast a @goodboyvodka @charistaa." (Good Boy Vodka is Daly's own vodka brand, which he co-founded in 2021) Charitsa is Anna's daughter from her previous relationship with Chris T. Sullivan, the founder of Outback Steakhouse. And her 21st birthday just showcased Daly's deepening bond with Anna's family. Especially the two words "bonus daughter!" That's a notable shift for a man whose personal life has often been turbulent. Daly has been married four times. First to Dale Crafton (1987–1990), then he was with Bettye Fulford (1992–1995), followed by Paulette Dean (1995–1999), and Sherrie Miller (2001–2007). His relationships were often marred by public disputes, legal battles, and personal struggles. His fourth marriage ended after a highly publicized altercation, and Daly was later granted custody of their son, John Daly II. But with Anna, things have been different. In a 2016 interview, Daly credited her with bringing calm to his chaotic world. "Anna has been one of the most supportive human beings in my world," he said. The couple hasn't tied the knot, yet their nearly two-decade relationship has endured more than most marriages. Maybe that is how it was meant to be.

"As I said yesterday, most of Thursday and Friday is jockeying for position, keeping yourself in the tournament, trying not to lose the tournament." "But after the start I had today, I could have got some daylight between myself and the field and got out there. I just have to go and do it all again the next two days."

"I just kept doing the same things I was doing and keeping the ball mostly in play, and if I was out of play, I was just in the rough," said Cink about improving from one round to the other. "I never was in a lot of trouble. Then a couple putts went in, hit one close, two-putted [both] par 5s, and you look back and an hour and a half later you've got five birdies in the last seven holes or something." "It was not like I dug deep and found anything I just kept doing the same thing and patience was rewarded."

Spaniard veteran sizzles, claims another major crown
Miguel Angel Jimenez has won the Kaulig Companies Championship for his fourth PGA Tour Champions victory of the season, rallying to force a playoff and beating Steven Alker with a 20-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole. Two strokes down after playing partner Alker birdied the par-5 16th, Jimenez made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th and an 18-footer on the par-4 18th. "I knew I had to make birdie-birdie to have any chance," Jimenez said. "I make birdie on the 17th, gives you wings to go to 18th, and then the rest is history." Tied for the lead entering Sunday's third and final round at Firestone South, the 61-year-old Jimenez and 53-year-old Kiwi Alker each shot two-under 68s to finish at 10-under 270 in the major championship. They each parred the 18th on the first playoff hole, with Jimenez missing an 18-foot birdie try and Alker holing a three-and-a-half footer to send it back to tee for a second extra hole. Before Jimenez's winning putt, Alker missed a 20-foot birdie try after a recovery shot from the trees right of the fairway. Jimenez won his third major title after taking the Regions Tradition and the Senior British Open — both in 2018 — and earned a spot next year in The Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass. The Spanish star has 17 career victories on 50-and-over tour. "It's very special," Jimenez said. "I win here and put my name beside of all the great names through the history of the golf tournaments here on this beautiful golf course. "Amazing that my game is still nice ... I hope it's not the last one." Jimenez beat Alker by two strokes in the Trophy Hassan II in February in Morocco, then won the Hoag Classic in March in Newport Beach, California, and the Principal Charity Classic in a playoff three weeks ago in Des Moines, Iowa. Stewart Cink (66) was third at eight under and fellow American Steve Flesch (65) was another stroke adrift. Australian's Richard Green (72) and Michael Wright (73) tied for seventh at three under, while compatriots Mark Hensby (71) and Steve Allan (69) also enjoyed top-20 finishes.

Associated Press AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Tim Petrovic shot a 4-under 66 on Friday for a share of second-round lead with Steven Alker and Ricardo Gonzalez in the Kaulig Companies Championship, the third major of the year on the PGA Tour Champions. Petrovic closed with a birdie on the par-4 ninth to match Alker and Gonzalez at 5-under 135 at Firestone South. Alker, from New Zealand, had a 66. Gonzalez, the Argentine player who shared the first-round lead with Soren Kjeldsen, shot 68. Miguel Angel Jimenez was a stroke back after a 66. Freddie Jacobson was 3 under after a 67. Angel Cabrera, who already has won two majors this year at the Regions Tradition and the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional, was 1 under after a 68. The winner of the tournaments gets a spot in The Players Championship at the TPC Sawgrass next year. Firestone South previously hosted the World Series of Golf and then a World Golf Championship. It's a strong test for players who next go to the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado. ___ AP golf:
