GOLF legend John Daly BELLY FLOPPED into an on-course lake with fans left fearing he would get attacked by ALLIGATORS.

The American was playing in the Trump Touring Pro Weekend when he decided to take a dip.

Daly was captured diving right into the lake at Trump National Doral in Florida.

The course has been known to have alligators in the lakes but Daly appeared not to care.

One fan said: “I saw a few gators get out once John Daley jumped in!!”

Another added: “I’d seriously put my money on Daly if a gator messed with him.”

One joked: “Gators wouldn’t dare!!!”

Daly is a two-time major winner and still actively competes to this day.

He is beloved by fans for his antics on and off the course, like chain-smoking on the green and chowing down chicken wings for his diet.

Daly once went an 18-hole round drinking only diet coke – no water.

At the 2008 Wyndham Championship Daly drank 12 diet cokes and ate six packets of peanut M&Ms.

Most striking of all, he even smoked 21 cigarettes between shots, yet is still going strong aged 56.

And he is teaching his son John Daly II the ropes as an aspiring golfer himself.
