Daly, 57, pulled out of the event just hours before it had been due to take place - citing injury and not appearing in any capacity.

American golfer Jerry Kelly stepped in at the last minute, and Paige couldn't have been more impressed.

She said of the 56-year-old: "Today was supposed to be my match against John Daly.

"When he didn’t show, Jerry Kelly filled in.

"Jerry made 10 birdies and 2 eagles today. It was the greatest round of golf I’ve ever witnessed.

"We raised a ton of money for charity and I’m not too mad with the 66 I shot. What a great day at Geneva National!"

Quizzed why Daly hadn't shown up, Paige wrote: "Was told at 8 am the day of the event which started at 10:30 am he couldn’t come or even ride around because of an injury.

"Hope he has a speedy recovery."

The event had been dubbed "Beauty vs the Beast" by organisers.

One hundred per cent of proceeds raised by ticket sales went towards army veteran charities Special Operations Warrior Foundation and Heart of a Lion.

After the match, Paige attended a reception for VIP guests who paid $155 (£125) for tickets.

The VIPs were able to take pictures with her, while enjoying live music and an open bar.
