On the other side, who do you think is the most successful Big Breaker ever? Tony Finau?

I'd say Gainey is the most succcesful (PGA tour winner), but Finau will go on to be he best. Gerina Piller has payed consistently well on the LPGA tour, and Blair O'Neal has turned her exposure into a nice gig with Puma and TGC.

Posted 3 years ago. Who would've thought a Big Breaker would end up playing on a Ryder Cup team.

This thread brought back memories of Brian. My buddies still say, "too pure" once in a while. I stopped watching after that season

 

My wife and I use the same line. Also "I hole out more than I don't get up and down" . That guy was a hoot.

 

I miss that show. Favorite was Chad. The War vet amputee that just played in shot makers. Great attitude. Everyone kept picking him for elimination and he kept knocking them all off. That guy could handle pressure and always pull off an amazing shot when it was on the line.

I really liked BB, kind of a guilty pleasure thing (extra guilty because I mostly watched the women's seasons lol). My favorite ever was Selanee Henderson, gorgeous girl and a genuine grinder. I really thought she'd make it!

I only really watched one show, the one that I think Richy Werenski won...but the black guy on that show was incredibly cocky, super annoying, and didn't appear to be that good.

 

Richy Werenski has been decent so far...struggling to get tour card but has done well in some tour events and web.com tour.

He made over $1M in this season and kept his card for next year. Not too shabby all in all.

Caddied for her in Symetra event in 2017, through 27 holes she missed one fairway and 2 greens, her longestest first putt was 20 feet, it was after a chip. Unreal how good her ball striking is. Tge morning of the first round she told me she had no clue where driver was going, she must figured it out pretty quick. Total blast and a class act personality

Just finished watching the BB Prince Edward Island show. That Brian Skatell is TV gold. Every show he had some hilarious one-liners. Let’s call him “Too Pure” Brian Skatell. I was so sad that he left after like the 5th show - was pretty boring after that. At first I thought he was just an arrogant pr#@k, but he really grew on me and I haven’t laughed so hard in my life. You could the other contestants even started warming up to him - he was so over the top he became very likable. I’d love to tee it up with him - he’d be a blast to play with.
