While Trevor Immelman was winning the Masters for his first major, John Daly was having surgery in Arkansas. Daly has cited injury as the primary reason for his poor play over the last two years. The injury dates to the '07 Honda Classic, when he tried to stop his swing upon hearing the click of a fan's camera. More than a year later, his doctor believes he found the problem.The surgery was to repair a torn muscle in his stomach.

"When he tried to stop swinging at the Honda Classic, he tore his rotator cuff and he also dislocated two rib joints where they attach to the spine," said Dr. Steve Whitelaw, who works with the University of Arkansas. "We rehabbed all that, but the whole time he had dislocated ribs, he tore the ligaments around them."

Whitelaw said Daly might be able to hit easy wedge shots this week, and the recovery should be quick. Where the two time major champion returns is uncertain, although it could be Europe.
