"It's a weird mixture of there's no stress because I'm not out here fighting for points, but also I do kind of represent YouTube golf in a way," he said.
He emphasized his desire to perform for his fans.
"There's a lot of people who love YouTube and love watching me, and they vouch for me, so I'm trying to prove it for them as well."
Dalke also clarified earlier comments about bypassing developmental tours, which drew criticism.
