Over the green in two, when his second attempt to putt up started to roll back down, the "Wild Thing" hit the ball on the move for a two-shot penalty.Daly took four more to get down in an 83, finishing at 29 over par despite the fact he was leading during the first round. "The US Open is just not John Daly's style of golf," he said "The USGA try to embarrass the players. All credit to whoever wins, but I don't consider the US Open a major any more."From now on, my majors are the British Open, the USPGA, the Masters and the Tour Championship. I don't know if I want to waste my time going to Pebble Beach next year. I don't want to see the USGA spoil that course as well."FINAL TOTALS AND PRIZE MONEYUS unless stated, par 70279P Stewart 68 69 72 70 (pounds 388,319)280P Mickelson 67 70 73 70 (pounds 229,885)281V Singh (Fiji) 69 70 73 69, T Woods 68 71 72 70 (pounds 124,422 each)285S Stricker 70 73 69 73 (pounds 82,755)286T Herron 69 72 70 75 (pounds 73,375)287H Sutton 69 70 76 72, J Maggert 71 69 74 73, D Duval 67 70 75 75288D Clarke (GB) 73 70 74 71, B Mayfair 67 72 74 75289P Azinger 72 72 75 70, D Love 70 73 74 72, P Goydos 67 74 74 74290C Montgomerie (GB) 72 72 74 72, J Leonard 69 75 73 73291D Hart 73 73 76 69, J Furyk 69 73 77 72, J Haas 74 72 73 72, J Parnevik (Swe) 71 71 76 73, S Verplank 72 73 72 74, J Huston 71 69 75 76292B Watts 69 73 77 73, N Price (Zim) 71 74 74 73, T Scherrer 72 72 74 74, DA Weibring 69 74 74 75, MA Jimenez (Sp) 73 70 72 77293D Berganio 68 77 76 72, T Lehman 73 74 73 73294G Sisk 71 72 76 75, B Estes 70 71 77 76295S Cink 72 74 78 71, S Struver (Ger) 70 76 75 74296G Hjertstedt (Swe) 75 72 79 70, C Pavin 74 71 78 73, B Fabel 69 75 78 74, C Parry (Aus) 69 73 79 75, S Pate 70 75 75 76, C Franco (Par) 69 77 73 77, E Toledo (Mex) 70 72 76 78, R Mediate 69 72 76 79297S Allan (Aus) 71 74 77 75, L Mattiace 72 75 75 75, C Perry 72 74 75 76, G Hallberg 74 72 75 76298L Janzen 74 73 76 75, D Lebeck 74 70 78 76, R Allenby (Aus) 74 72 76 76, J Carter 73 70 78 77, B Chamblee 73 74 74 77299S Elkington (Aus) 71 72 79 77, C Tidland 71 75 75 78300G Kraft 70 73 82 75, J Tyska 72 74 75 79, S McRoy 70 74 76 80, P Price (GB) 71 73 75 81301J Kelly 73 74 79 75, T Watson 75 70 77 79, K Yokoo (Japan) 68 74 78 81302T Kite 74 72 80 76, J Cook 74 73 77 78303B Tway 69 77 79 78, C Smith 69 77 77 80304L Mize 69 75 84 76306*H Kuehne 72 75 81 78308B Burns 71 76 84 77, T Tryba 72 75 82 79309J Daly 68 77 81 83 *denotes amateur. BRITISH DRIVERS went some way to slowing the rate of Laurent Aiello's runaway success in the British Touring Car Championship in yesterday's two races at Donington Park.

James Thompson and David Leslie took the wins after Aiello tripped over another Briton - Jason Plato - in the Sprint race, and finished a close second to his team-mate Leslie in the longer Feature race. Aiello still heads the points chase by a healthy margin, but both Thompson and Leslie are now a little closer. The Sprint race was full of entertainment. The reigning champion, Rickard Rydell, led away as the pole position man, Thompson, started slowly and, in their wake, Aiello moved across on Plato and crashed heavily into the pit wall. The safety car shepherded the field round as Aiello's wrecked Nissan was moved to a safe place and, on the restart, Rydell, the Swedish Volvo driver, watched by King Carl Gustav of Sweden, headed the field again from Thompson and Plato.It all went wrong for Rydell , however, as the Volvo started to misfire and he dropped back and eventually retired.

Thompson took up the running and Leslie moved ahead of Plato into second place when Plato ran wide at the Old Hairpin. Try as he might Leslie could not dislodge Thompson from the lead and the Honda driver went on to win.Leslie was second and Plato third as the Vauxhall drivers, Yvan Muller and John Cleland, entertained on their way up the field to fourth and sixth, split by Alain Menu's Ford Mondeo.The Feature race was effectively decided at the start as the two Nissans of Leslie and Aiello (who had changed swiftly into the team's spare car) moved into the lead, and their most plausible challengers - Thompson and Rydell - were out-dragged by Menu's Ford.Leslie was in charge throughout, though Aiello haunted his mirrors over the closing stages. Thompson was soon past Menu, but could not close in on the Nissan drivers. Rydell spent most of the race behind the Ford, but did eventually force his way past to take fourth place, with Muller following him through to be fifth ahead of Menu.Results, Digest, page 5. TREVOR COYLE'S luck took a welcome turn for the better yesterday, when the 40-year-old Irishman jumped three wonderful clear rounds on the grey stallion, Cruising, to win the coveted Aachen Grand Prix. Six weeks ago, Coyle was concussed when kicked in the face by a young horse at home in Northern Ireland, and he sustained multiple injuries which included a broken jaw.

But his will to win has not been dented, as he proved with a swift clear round in yesterday's four-horse jump-off. Anne Kursinski, of the United States, took up the challenge on Eros and she was faster by 0.14sec, but lowered one fence in the process to come second ahead of Sweden's Rolf-Goran Bengtsson and the Dutchman, Peter Geerink. Kursinski had stood to collect a bonus of pounds 40,000 if she had followed her victory in Monterrey last October with another win here, for both contests are part of the valuable Pulsar series."It wasn't to be," she said, "but I am proud of my horse. He did so well to jump clear in the second round, because he had lost a front shoe early on and was skating everywhere."Three British riders (John Whitaker on Virtual Village Welham, his brother Michael on Ashley and Nick Skelton on Hopes are High) made a single error each over the first course, but they were nevertheless among the 18 who went forward to the next round. Further errors left John Whitaker the best of the three in 13th place, after Welham had lowered the last fence both times.Coyle had often looked at the imposing plaque of past Aachen Grand Prix winners that stretches back to 1927.
