John Daly II, whose nickname is “Little John”, finished in three-way tie for second at the inaugural Dye National Junior Invitational, an invitation-only junior event in Indianapolis, on Wednesday.
Daly II finished four strokes behind tournament winner John Marshall Butler, who shot even par in a 54-hole event many simply call the Dye.
Played at Crooked Stick, a course Dye designed in his hometown with his wife, Alice, and where Daly II’s father won the 1991 PGA Championship in the most remarkable fashion, Little John shot a final-round 76. He was tied for the lead after 36 holes, all played on Tuesday, after shooting 74-70.
Jordan Gilkison and Drew Wrightson tied Daly II for second. Michael Brennan and Drew Sayers finished T-5 at +5.
Daly II is a high school junior in Clearwater, Florida.
