The kid who beat Rory McIlroy in arm wrestling is making his PGA Tour debut

April 21, 2016

Okay, so it wasn't exactly Over the Top, but impressive nevertheless.

After a successful junior career, Dalke, now a freshman at Oklahoma, is making his PGA Tour debut this week at the Valero Texas Open. He owns a 72.86 scoring average at Norman, with a season-best 66 at the Ka'anapali Classic Collegiate Invitational.

Here's to hoping Dalke turns in a strong performance at TPC San Antonio. Because the tour is exciting as is, but if we could add weekly arm-wrestling contests into the mix? Baby, now we're talking.
