Earlier this week we brought you the awesome story of pro golfer Michael Visacki, who qualified for his first PGA Tour event in a Monday qualifier for the Valspar Championship and then had an emotional phone call with his dad in which he told his pops that he had finally made it to a PGA Tour event after seven years of trying.
Well, today Visacki, who turned pro in 2013 and has been a mini tour player during that time, teed it up for the first time on the big stage of the PGA Tour and he had a dream of a first hole.
Visacki kicked things off with this 334-yard drive, which is incredible considering the nerves must have been pretty high:
First Tour start ever?

Then he went on to birdie the par-5 first hole.
First hole on TOUR, first birdie. 🐦

Amazing.
He bogeyed the next three holes but just being out there this week is pretty darn awesome.
I’m definitely rooting for him.
