Emotional Michael Visacki: 'A dream come true' to tee it up on first PGA Tour event

PALM HARBOR, Fla. - A day after he qualified for his first PGA Tour event and saw an emotional video go viral in which he told his father about the feat, Michael Visacki still had difficulty grasping the reality of his situation.

A long-time mini-tour player who said he's logged some 170,000 miles on a 2010 Honda Accord over the last several years chasing his golf dreams made it into the $6.9 million Valspar Championship when he holed a 20-foot birdie putt on Monday to gain the last spot in the field in a sudden death playoff.
