Blair O’Neal is hoping to get a little reminiscing in this Monday, as she sits on the couch and watches herself on the Golf Channel’s “Big Break Mondays.”
But the former Arizona State star and host of the Golf Channel’s “School of Golf” has her hands full these days with another project — she welcomed her first child on April 7 when Chrome Andy Keiser was born. Chrome weighed in at just over eight pounds.
“It’s wild. This little 8-pound being is ruling every move that I make now. He’s the new boss in town. But it’s so fun,” O’Neal said from her Arizona home during Monday’s Morning Drive on the Golf Channel. “We’re still learning every day. He is the cutest, sweetest little thing.”
O’Neal was part of the cast of The Big Break Dominican Republic, which marked the 14th season of the series. It initially aired back in 2010, and featured a reunion cast of a dozen former Big Break competitors.
All 10 episodes of the season will air today until 6 p.m. ET, and the final two episodes will re-air from 9-11 p.m. ET.
“It’s going to be so much fun to watch. I’m a little biased, but I think this season was such a great season overall. There was a lot of great golf,” O’Neal said. “The cast of characters; everybody brought something to the table. This show really was my big break in my career.
“It opened up a lot of doors for me.”
So what will O’Neal be watching for, since she lived through the experience?
“One (thing) I’m looking forward to are some Brian-isms, from Brian Skatell,” O’Neal said. “I feel like he was a little bit ahead of his time with the reality TV world. He definitely made for some good TV.”
