JOHN DALY WALKS OUT OF AUSTRIAN OPEN AFTER DISPUTE

FROM THE BBC SPORT WEBSITE
John Daly has walked out of the Austrian Open in Atzenbrugg after a dispute over a two-shot penalty.
The American heavyweight stormed off at the 15th hole following a disagreement with officials over where his ball should have been dropped after a shot into the water.
The two-time major champion, nicknamed 'Wild Thing', also threw his club in to the lake at the par-three 15th.
Tournament referee Andy McFee said: "I told him it was a two-shot penalty, at which point he said 'I'm done.'"
The 45-year-old American was level par for the day and two over par for the tournament before his troubles at the 15th, and was on course to make the cut.
McFee added: "If you play from a wrong place, and it's a serious breach then there could be a disqualification. But we always try to avoid this.
"When I knew it was not a serious breach I said 'You can carry on John'. But John did not want to do that."
Daly was playing with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez and Austria's Martin Wiegele at the Diamond Country Club outside Vienna, and had battled back to one over par with birdies at the 12th and 13th, before dropping a shot at the 14th.
Daly rose to fame after winning the 1991 US PGA title, coming in to the event as the ninth reserve player. His long-hitting and turbulent private life made sure he was never far from the headlines, but he showed proof of his talent in 1995, winning The Open Championship at St Andrews.
He has won six titles on the US PGA and European tours, the most recent being the Buick Invitational in San Diego in 2004.
There is a four-way tie at the top of the Austrian leaderboard after two rounds. England's Robert Coles carded the best round of the day, a seven under par 65, to finish on seven under par.
He shares the halfway lead with Dutchman Joost Luiten, Denmark's Thomas Norret, and India's Gaganjeet Bhullar. First round leader Liam Bond of Wales dropped back to a share of ninth place after he shot a 74.
Only two of the world's top 100 are competing in Atzenbrugg - Jimenez lies in a tie for 18th after a second round 69, while Ireland's three-time major winner Padraig Harrington is in a tie for 47th after he finished at 1 over par.
