John Daly followed up the happy news that he and his caddie, Anna Cladakis, were engaged with his first professional victory in a decade.

The two-time major champion announced his engagement to his “soul mate” on Thursday, went out and fired a second-round, 9-under 63 at the Beko Classic, and then held on to win the event in Turkey by one shot after shooting a 72 in Saturday’s finale.

Daly last recorded a W in the 2004 Buick Invitational on the PGA Tour. He compiled a 15-under total in last week’s 54-hole tourney contested at Gloria Hotels & Resorts New Course under the auspices of the PGAs of Europe.

“It feels great to win,” said Daly, who donated his $8,000 winner’s share to local charities. “It’s pretty much my last tournament of the year so I can hopefully go into 2015 with some extra confidence.”

And we asked, Loudmouth answered. Turns out Daly’s couture of choice offers wedding-day sartorial splendor in a variety of colors and patterns so bride and groom have a number of flashy ensembles in which to outfit themselves and members of their wedding party.
