John Daly is one of the most colorful, controversial and popular figures in golf history.?Dalys grip it and rip it life is the subject of a new 30 for 30 documentary, Hit it Hard, which is set to debut Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.Its hard not to wonder what Daly could have accomplished on the course if he hadnt had so many problems off it. In this weeks edition of Four-Ball, our panel explores Dalys impact on the sport.1. Do you consider Daly an overachiever or underachiever?SportsCenter anchor Jonathan Coachman: Unfortunately, I have to say underachiever. Daly possibly has the most natural talent of any player in the history of the sport; there is no way he could have ever won those huge tournaments without that immense talent. But its frustrating to see someone not maximize his talent over the past 20 years. If he would have taken things more seriously, who knows how many majors or tournaments he could have won.?ESPN.com senior golf writer Bob Harig: He is a huge underachiever. Get past all the drama, and Daly was an incredibly skilled player who could not only drive it a long way, but had a surprisingly good short game. Winning two majors as he did showed his talent, but its remarkable to think that Daly has nearly as many missed cuts and withdrawals (249) in his PGA Tour career as he has made cuts (273). Maybe Daly never would have been a prolific winner, but he had the skills to accomplish more.ESPN.com senior golf editor Kevin Maguire: An overachiever. Considering the inner demons Daly had to overcome in his life, albeit many of them self-inflicted, most people would not have had the wherewithal to reach such a high level in sports -- or in life. Winning one major championship can sometimes be a fluke. Winning two solidifies your place in golf history.ESPN.com senior golf writer Jason Sobel:?Sorry, but underachievers dont win multiple major championships. I understand the insinuation -- Daly had so much talent that if he played as hard on the course as he did off of it, he couldve achieved so much more. Perhaps, but that notion does a disservice to everything he did accomplish. In his prime, Daly was never the games most consistent player, but you can bet plenty of his peers would love to own his resume. Its not one of an underachiever.2. Which major win was more surprising, the 1991 PGA Championship or 1995 Open Championship?Coachman: No one knew who Daly was in 1991 -- he came out of nowhere as an alternate to pull off possibly the biggest upset in the history of golf. We knew Daly when he won his second major, which was a surprise, but not a monumental surprise.?I dont know if we will ever see something like 1991 again. Just awesome.Harig: The 91 PGA was more surprising, simply given the circumstances behind getting into the field. Few knew who John Daly was when he had to drive overnight to Crooked Stick as an alternate and only got into the field because numerous things occurred -- including Nick Price withdrawing due to the birth of a child. To then go on and win a major championship, without a practice round, is about as farfetched as possible, and yet Daly did it.Maguire: The 91 PGA, but only by the slimmest of margins. Dalys 1995 win at St. Andrews certainly came out of nowhere, but he had at least proved that when his game was on, he could beat the best in the world. Absolutely no one saw that victory as the ninth alternate at Crooked Stick in 1991 coming, and if someone says otherwise, its pure fiction.Sobel:?Easily the first one. As a PGA Tour rookie, Daly was the tournaments ninth alternate, somehow got into the field and won it as a total unknown. If you wrote a movie script like this, it would be dismissed as too unbelievable.3. What do you remember most about John Dalys career so far?Coachman: When I think about Daly, his golf doesnt even come into my mind. Its his partying, his hustle and continuing to bounce back. I think he is an all-time good dude with a good heart, and its nice to see he has pulled it together for the Champions Tour. Hopefully, his golf can take center stage this time.?Harig: It is unfortunate that there was so much off-course drama involving ex-wives, drinking, rehab and weight gain/loss, not to mention his high-profile withdrawals and high scores in various tournaments. But what is most memorable is the way he attracted people to the game with the way he hit the ball off the tee. His length was prodigious, and he routinely hit drives more than 300 yards when that was quite uncommon.Maguire: The way fans loved him (and still do). He would draw some of the largest galleries at a tournament even when people had no idea what would happen inside the ropes. Often that was the appeal. Hardcore and non-hardcore golf fans alike were drawn to the mystery surrounding Daly. Sure, the everyman aspect of his story made things interesting, but no one crushed the ball the way Daly did back in the early 1990s.Sobel: I think Ill always most remember the swing itself. Way past parallel, then smoothly through the ball, compressing it into orbit. No golfer has ever combined Dalys strength, power and flexibility. Yes, the man was -- and still is -- flexible and has always owned a deft touch around the greens. Sure, others might first recall the rags-to-riches (and back and forth) tale or the hard-living lifestyle, but its that swing which will forever be ingrained in my memory.4. Fact or Fiction: John Daly will win on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.Coachman: Fiction. Daly can finish top 10, but Im skeptical on whether or not he can put three or four rounds together in the same week. It has been so long since hes been in the winners circle, and when it has been this long, its too high of a mountain to climb.?Harig: Fact. The results so far do not back it up, as he has yet to post a single top-10 finish in 14 starts. But Daly has battled injuries and lack of play on the PGA Tour. Hes going to need some time, but it will happen.Maguire: Fiction. Not being able to get consistent tournament starts for the past several years didnt help his transition to the over-50 circuit this year. Hopefully Im wrong on this, but I just cant see him cashing that winners check again.Sobel:?Fact. Here is a partial list of winners on the senior tour this year: Doug Garwood, Carlos Franco, Gene Sauers and Duffy Waldorf. No offense toward any of those champions, but if they can do it, so can Daly.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It was 2012 all over again for the Americans on Monday in the Rio Games.Just as in London, they followed a great performance in the preliminaries of the team competition with a terrible start to the finals and finished fifth.In a lot of ways, these guys performed better than I feel we did in London, coach Mark Wiliams said. We fought through everything and theres no giving up. Gymnastics is hard and there are a lot of good teams out there on the mens side.Four years ago things went wrong when they started on the pommel horse and two of them fell. On Monday it was the floor exercise that put the team in a big hole early with both Alex Naddour and Sam Mikulak stepping out of bounds during their routines.Its obviously tough whenever you start from behind, but thats kind of the Team USA motto to never give up, never quit, fight until the end, Chris Brooks said. So we just tried to rally together and get the ball rolling.They were able to do that, turning in solid performances on the rings, vault and parallel bars to put them within striking distance of a medal. Only the uneven bars were left and Danell Leyva knew he had to be aggressive to give the team a chance.But instead of sticking his routine, he missed a connection, leaving the Americans in fifth place once more.We started it off a little rough but we were picking it up toward the end, Leyva said. I was the one who messed it up at the end. I just slipped on the bar. I really tried grabbing on and holding on as much as I could but my grip was off, like it was not on the baar, and thats why it slipped off.ddddddddddddt was a day that illustrated the rapidly increasing gap between the U.S. mens and womens teams. While the women are overwhelming favorites to win their second straight team gold, the men have slipped to the middle of the pack after winning team medals in both 2004 and 2008. Williams watched the American women dominate the field in qualifying on Sunday night and hoped it would give his group a boost.Looking at the results obviously theyre doing the right things and they looked fantastic last night, Williams said. That was one of the best gymnastics meets Ive ever watched. Weve got to come out and be on fire as well.The gymnasts werent really interested in comparing what happened in London to Mondays performance. But Leyva summed up the feelings of most of the guys rather succinctly.It feels equally bad, he said.Despite the disappointing finish the men were happy with their effort and looking forward to better results in the individual events.Even though we didnt get the placement that we wanted it was fun. We had fun down there, Brooks said. We were supporting each other. We were competing with everything we had. Its gymnastics -- sometimes it doesnt go your way, sometimes you need a little bit of luck. But I had a great time.Naddour completely agreed with his teammate and had a smile on his face as he described the day.Fifth in the world, he said. Its still pretty good. ' ' '
