“I’m just glad everyone is healthy, that’s the main thing,” he said on the PGA Tour website. “Living in Florida, you have to understand that this is going to happen, but not like this. I didn’t think it would be this bad.”

He added that nearly half a dozen other homes belonging to his friends and family were also destroyed in the storm.

“I think it’s more the memories that Mum, Chrissy and Matty have in this house over the years. The memories are what you miss when you lose something like that,” Daly said.
