Brad Dalke’s highly anticipated PGA Tour return didn’t exactly go to plan.
The YouTube golfer, who was once a highly-touted amateur, received a sponsor’s exemption to play at the Rocket Classic, his first PGA Tour event since 2016.
Expectations were high for Dalke after he had a strong showing at the BMW International Open on the DP World Tour recently, but in his worst nightmares, he couldn’t have dreamed of a worse start in Detroit this week.
He shot an opening-round 81, leaving him second-to-last in the field through 18 holes of golf. Dalke’s round featured seven bogeys, a double and a quad as he sprayed it all over the park.
It was a disaster for Dalke, and he took to social media to share his honest thoughts on his start to the event.

Dalke, who had high hopes of a solid showing this week at the Rocket Classic before the tournament began, took to X to express his disappointment.
After his opening round 81, he said, “That round was nightmare fuel my goodness. Goes without saying I played very, very poorly… but everything that could’ve gone wrong seemed to go wrong. Nothing I can do now except go play some more golf tomorrow.”
Then, in response to fellow YouTubers the Bryan Bros, who put out a message of support for Dalke, he said, “Thank you fellas. Tough day out there and it’s a lonely feeling playing golf like that. Appreciate you guys. Time for a strong finish tomorrow.”
The nerves must have been immense for Dalke on the first tee, so when his round started six-over through five holes, he spiraled. Hopefully he can gather himself and show the world what he’s capable of in his second round.
