[MadGolfer76]

Good grief! Give the man a cap for pity's sake.

Good luck to Sasquatch! I loved him on the BB.

I liked watching Isaac and wish him the best at the tournament, but what are the honest odds of him breaking 80? He has some really good game, but the PGA Tour is a different level.

Tommy Gainey and Matt Every are Big Break graduates. Not everyone on those shows are mini tour lifers.

I would definitely like to see Isaac do well enough to earn some sponsor exemptions and either get a Tour card or status on the Web.com.

I wasn't trying to knock him and I know there have been several players to make it on tour. My question was particularly about Isaac this week. Generally, BBers do not fair well in their debut after winning the show.

I'll go ahead and be the guy that says it. He has more game than a ton of regular faces on tour and a ton of determination and heart. Always be wary of a guy that wants it that bad and has some game...they can be dangerous lol. I wish all the best for him, he;s my favorite from any of the seasons hands down.

If you manage to read this dude...just let it fly and dont worry to much, just keep it loose and you'll do great I know you have it in you! Own the moment brother, I'll be following you closely!

Good luck Isaac! Watched him on BB NFL, seems like a nice guy, hope he plays into the weekend.

Did him winning that get him to this event?

[Soxfan21]

Yes

[Chilli9880]

Every day dude getting to live out his dream! Do well big man!

[drvrwdge]

As a fellow man of ink it's nice to see a guy out there with some visable tats. There are no doubt plenty of guys on tour with them just none that are really visable. I have way more than Isaac and although not quite as much game I still play pretty well. Been playing in the same area for 20+ years and most people know me from my junior days but I am always curious of how people will receive me when I play out of the area. There are no doubt those that are probably thinking "who the hell is this guy"... those are the ones I love taking $$$ from the most.

Oh and good luck Isaac!! haha

I have to agree that he is not visor material. I'm in the same boat as him, just not as severe. I have a visor from years ago and every once in a while I'll throw it on and look the mirror...not good.

[shoota34]

3 jack on first hole of day , 10th, and I think he' just hit two in the water on 11. Golf is a tough game.

[moose557]

Ya bogeyed the 10th (his first hole of the day) then a quad on the par 3 11th

[tembolo1284]

Pretty bag! Wish him all the best!

[prorobo]

Three pars after his rough start! Time to make some birds!

[sheppy335]

After watching so many other BB winner putter out it would be nice to see hm do really well. He seems down to earth family man and a heck of a golfer.

I can see him after getting himself acclimated to a web.com tour or PGA tour doing well and carving out a nice living. I am a fan of his and will root for him whenever he tees it up.

[webber]

I played against him in High School. Always a nice down to earth guy. He is so freakin big it's not even funny. He should be playing in the NFL.

That's not what I was hoping to see.

Me either, but it was what I was afraid of. Hopefully tomorrow, he can relax a bit more and shoot around par. Maybe pick up a few sponsors if he does so and start playing on the Web.com Tour.

Yeah he just needs to settle down a bit. He could pick up some strokes tomorrow and be near the cut line, hopefully he sneaks in. Him getting some exemption would be great. He could be a great ambassador to the game for those who have body art.

[hankmoody]

Golf can be a humbling game. Not what he wanted I'm sure. I hope he shaves 10 strokes off that for tomorrow. Unfortunately, the media attention will be on the first round. He's gotta keep his head held high and go back out there ready to take on the world.

[Drumdog]

I wish him all the best. I liked watching him on the show.

[NevadaGolfGuy]

A rough start for sure, I hope he turns it around. I sympathize because I dont care who you are, that first pga start has to be a gnarly feeling. I know my first PBA even my first couple games were sooooo rough and there was zero media there lol.

Ouch , I can see beljan is working hard on getting into next years masters

[drbonesvt]

Looks like he's hitting a lot of 3ws off the tee, appears not a lot of faith in the big dog right now

[nova6868]

I'll bet he was hoping the inclement weather had started earlier.

Lol @ pba event, how can there be any pressure when your bowling for virtually nothing, barely cover expenses winning a tour event.

How can there be any pressure playing in amateur golf tournaments? You pay to play and get a trophy for winning!

See how stupid that sounds?

And Jason Belmonte, currently first place on the PBA money list, has earned $99,800 in six events this year.

Hope the Big Guy recovers a little and gets some confidence.

This is not the golf course to play with nerves...big numbers lurking on a lot of holes. M

[moose557]

Yikes plus 16 and dead last by 7 strokes. He was so calm and handled pressure well on the show I thought he would put up a better showing.
