YouTube star Brad Dalke says he has been thrilled by the level of support he has received on his DP World Tour debut.
Dalke, 28, was two shots off the lead heading into the third round of the BMW International Open but toiled to a three-over 75 on Saturday in Munich, leaving him seven strokes adrift of joint leaders Michael Hollick and Bernd Wiesberger, who sit at 13 under.
Despite his struggles the American - who played against the likes of Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland during his college days and now has an army of fans for his online golf content - drew a considerable gallery and rewarded them with his second birdie of the day on the 18th hole.
"It was fun to birdie the last in front of the crowds. It's crazy in my mind knowing I have never played a DP World Tour event and I might have the biggest group [of fans] out there, the biggest following out there.
"Big shoutout to the fans. YouTube golf has been growing a lot, and it's shown with these crowds. I will try to finish strong."
