Controversial American John Daly finished the Spanish Open - his first tournament since December - in 31st place. But it might not be all he remembers Girona for.
The former Open champion, down from 20 to 16 stones after having a gastric band inserted in February, had to make a hurried exit from a lunch table after failing to digest a sandwich properly.
Daly had said on his arrival that vomiting had been a problem since his surgery and he commented: "I didn't chew the chicken enough and had to go to the bathroom.
"It's no great drama. I'm like a baby being sick, then I went back to finish the meal."
The 43-year-old, still serving a six-month US Tour ban handed out after he was thrown in jail to sober up in October, finished with a 69 for a three under par total.
With 15 birdies and an eagle during the week Daly, in Europe for the next month, moves on to the Italian Open with reasons to be cheerful.
"I've struck the ball pretty good and only made two long putts all week, but in the last two rounds I hit a lot I thought I had made."
Among the things he has had to give up is beer, but he said he can still manage whisky in small sips.
