Fuzzy Zoeller to John Daly: 'I got $150 grand you're never going to make it to 50'

Joke's on you, Fuzzy.

According to John Daly, who celebrated his 50th birthday Thursday, Fuzzy Zoeller bet him $150,000 that he wouldn't do just that.

"Fuzzy's going to owe me $150 grand," Daly told USA Today Sports. "I don't know if he remembers that bet or not, but I'll get that cash from him hopefully."

One problem: Daly says they never shook on it.

"Fuzzy said, 'I got 150 grand you're never going to make it to 50,'" Daly recalled.

The friendly wager, let's call it, was made after some drinks a couple of days before the Masters, years ago.

"I think it was Tuesday morning and we played nine holes and went to T-Bonz (restaurant)," Daly said, "and had some lunch. Next think I know, we were in the same clothes playing Wednesday at 7:30 in the morning at the par-3 tournament. We stayed through the whole nine (holes) drinking, having a good time and eating.

"So I won't hold him up to it," Daly added.

But Daly's not going down without a fight.

"I'll just have him give me a free bottle of his vodka. That's about it."
