Re: No more treatment available for my wife's appendix cancer. Thanks for the reply. The cancer has spread diffusely in the peritoneum and appears to be affecting the nerves controlling the bowel - so a stoma isn't really an option unless the gut regains some function and surgery isn't an option either.
Another longest drive in PGA Tour history is credited to Mike Austin, 64 years old at the time, who hit a 515-yard drive on Sept. 25, 1974 in the National Seniors Open Championship, the pre-cursor to the U.S. Senior Open. Austin hit the drive on a 450-yard par 4 at Desert Rose Golf Club in Las Vegas.
(Cooper missed the cut in the tournament.) Daly led the PGA Tour in driving average in 1992 with a mark of 283.4 yards. Cooper was in 12th place at 272.1 yards. But Carl Cooper is the guy who goes down in history with a 787-yard drive during a PGA Tour event.
