John Daly is two strokes off the Ascension Charity Classic lead despite experiencing “brutal” genital soreness.  

Let him explain. 

“The L-2, I guess I pinched it yesterday on [hole] No. 2,” Daly said after an opening 4-under 67. “The pro-am was so long and I waited and I kind of went at a drive and the L-2 kind of goes to your private parts and I’ve been hurting since then.
