How do you sum up John Daly?

Like this... courtesy of an Associated Press writer:

If Tiger Woods is a Rembrandt, John Daly is a paint-by-number
Elvis on black velvet. Tacky, for sure. Yet there's something oddly
endearing about it, and you can't help but gawk.
Especially when Daly pulls stunts like he did today on No. 10 at
the PGA Championship in Tulsa. At 366 yards, downhill and with a
big dogleg to the right, a 4-or 5-iron off the tee is the smart move
for this par-4. It leaves players with a short approach, and a good
chance for birdie.
Daly? He waited for the green to clear, then pulled out driver and
ripped it. Daly doesn't do anything by anybody's plans. Which is why,
despite the blistering heat and suffocating humidity, a Tiger-sized
gallery was following every move of the topsy-turvy 3-over 73 that
turned him back into America's favorite side show after a brief
stay atop the leaderboard.
