“I hope that it gives other guys like me inspiration to keep going, because I know a lot of guys that just give up, they’re like, Oh, you know, I’m not good enough, I don’t think I’m good enough, or, I’m not good at this or I’m not good at that,” he mentioned.

The 27-year-old iterated on the importance of self-belief and how it motivates a person. It took Visacki 37 wins on the West Florida Pro Tour to gain entry into the PGA Tour, but some other person might face a different circumstance.
