John Daly was known for his prodigious driving and bombastic character but his fellow pros actually lauded his delicate touch over anything else.That’s according to rock music legend Alice Cooper, who has revealed Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were envious of Daly’s wedge game.Daly remains a hugely popular figure in golfDaly won the 1991 PGA Championship at Crooked Stick Golf Club before claiming Open Championship glory at St Andrews four years later.They were the crowning moments of his 19-win career and Daly remains one of the most loved golfers ever.The American is famous for his larger-than-life persona while his long, powerful hitting is the stuff of legend.But Cooper says Woods and Mickelson were among those who ranked Daly as the best with the short clubs.The ‘School’s Out’ rocker told talkSPORT: “There’s so many great stories about John Daly. “I asked Tiger and I asked Phil, who’s the best guy 60 yards in? They both said John Daly. “They said he had the best hands of anybody out there.”Cooper also gave his take on the upcoming Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.Europe will look to make it three wins on the bounce over the Americans in Ireland next September.Daly, who never played a Ryder Cup, is well known for enjoying a drink or two and Cooper says that sort of camaraderie is what has boosted Team Europe over their rivals in recent years.Daly won the Open Championship in 1995GettyHe added: “Why is it that the European team played doubles better than anybody? It’s because you guys drink together, you guys all go to the pub afterwards.“The Americans are money players. They don’t think team wise. “I think the Europeans probably have more fun. The Americans are more technical. “I mean an American guy goes out there and he’s got 14 people – he’s got a psychologist, he’s got a putting guy…“I’m going ‘what happened when you had Johnny Miller and Lee Trevino and those guys?’ They didn’t have anybody, they just showed up.”Cooper plays off a handicap of five and clearly loves his golf, regularly featuring at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.Rock legend Cooper joined talkSPORT on WednesdayCooper is an avid golfer and has a handicap of five‘The Godfather of Shock Rock’ also revealed he has had golf lessons from Daly, Miller and Rocco Mediate – all multiple-time PGA Tour champions – in recent years as he strives to get better.Cooper says he if could ever get good enough to compete professionally, he wouldn’t ditch his signature glam rock make-up on the course.He added: “If I ever actually took a year off, took my lessons, and if I could shoot 68, 69 every day and get on the tour, I’d go full make-up. “Because, come on, if you can shoot 68 and play with those guys, why not?”
