(1) Blair O’Neal vs Seema Sadekar (4)

Blair O’Neal
This stunning blond is having one impressive year. Blair is not just a pro golfer, model, and Lingerie Bowl QB, she has one more major line going on the resume. She makes the formal announcement in her interview with InGameNow.

IGN: So Blair, first of all, congratulations on a round 1 win over Logan Tom, she’s a beautiful volleyball player from Stanford, that must’ve been pretty exciting to knock off a Pac-10 rival.
Blair: (laughs) Yea, thanks, it was, I mean definitely, I was excited to make it to the 2nd round, so we’ll see what happens!

IGN: So you guys have an all golf group now- it started off with a few different types of athletes, you know, volleyball, golf, tennis, it’s just you, Anna, Tina Miller and Seema. What is that? I mean are golf girls hot? Or what’s the story?
Blair: Uhh- looks like it’s down to us golf girls- so, can’t go wrong with that, right?

IGN: Exactly. Are you a little nervous for round two? You’re going up against Seema Sadekar, you think you are a little over your skis, or do you think you got this one?
Blair: (laughs) Um- I’m not nervous, you know- I’m just doing this thing- and hopefully the people like you and that’s pretty much what it comes down to, you know!

IGN: So, more importantly, who are you voting for in the other match-up in your bracket; Anna or Tina?
Blair: Oh, I can’t say that
IGN: You absolutely have to!
Blair: (laughs) Um- I absolutely have to- that’s what you say? Then I would have to go with Anna.

IGN: One thing is for sure, all the girls in this group are great right now.
Blair: Yeah, they are. Everyone in this group is. It’s definitely a good group- and like you said, some great golfers. It makes it very interesting.

IGN: So let’s go over the exciting news that you have to share with us- why don’t you make the “formal” announcement.
Blair: Well, next year, I am going to be competing on “The Big Break” on Golf Channel – So I’m very excited about that!

IGN: And, for the record, right now, “The Big Break X; Michigan” which is in Michigan, and is half-way through the season.
Blair: Yes it’s on right now. It’s on the Golf Channel, it’s Tuesday, at 10pm E.T. But I definitely have a whole new respect for the show after actually competing on it. It really is a great show.

IGN: Now, do you want to talk about where the show was shot?
Blair: Definitely can not tell you where it was shot, but I can promise you it does take place in a beautiful, beautiful place. So, the location was amazing. I can tell you that.

IGN: At any point will the viewers be able to see you out there practicing your putting in a bikini?
Blair: (laughs) You’re probably not going to see me practicing in a bikini, that’s probably a no-go.

IGN: We’ve gotta talk to the Golf Channel about making this show really cool.
Blair: Yeah, maybe they could spice it up a bit, but no, there’s definitely no bikinis. (laughs) But I can promise you, it’ll still be worth watching.

IGN: You might’ve lost one or two viewers, but I’m sure you just attracted a lot too!
Blair: Well, hopefully. Hopefully there’s a lot of people that will watch the show, and I think it’s definitely going to be an exciting and you know, fun show to watch with a lot of great golf!

IGN: So, you’ve played in all sorts of different golf events. How competitive was it out there?
Blair: Um- honestly, this is probably the most highly competitive thing that I have ever done in my life. And, I’ve played a lot of golf, and a lot of tournaments, and well, before the show, I would read interviews of the past contestants, and they all talked about the amount of pressure that is put on you. You never know when a shot is going to be your last shot. On the Big Break it’s win or lose, you get one chance on the show. And every single one of us competing came out saying that this was the most competitive, and the most pressure, put on every single shot that you hit. I had never experienced anything like it. I can definitely tell you that.

IGN: Now, Tina Miller was on “The Big Break” a few seasons ago, and it sounded like she had a “cat-fight” when she was out there- will there be any drama in this upcoming season?
Blair: Uhhhmm- drama… well I think that every show probably has a different dynamic. But I will say that this Big Break is going to be entertaining, we have some great, really great golfers, and some really good personalities. The viewers will definitely be entertained!

IGN: Now, would you consider yourself a really good golfer, or really good character?
Blair: Uh, I think, probably both.
IGN: Good answer, very good answer!

IGN: When you go to a 4-day golf tournament, you can shank a ball, you can put it out-of-bounds, it won’t kill you, you may fall a few spots, but you can recover. “The Big Break” really is something where there’s a lot riding at certain times.
Blair: There is definitely a lot riding the entire time you are there. But I’m talking like heart beating so fast you can feel your heart coming out of your chest, just having no control over your body, just a lot of pressure that you really can’t practice having because it’s such a different feeling. Being on the show definitely makes you a stronger player, and even better competitor because you are testing yourself always, you know, one of the highest levels of competing under pressure. And on top of that, you have all these cameras following you, and you’re mic’ed constantly.

IGN: You have more coverage, more mics and cameras on you than Tiger does when he’s playing.
Blair: Ohhhh guess it depends on the tournament… but yeah it’s intense! By the time you’re done filming the show, they know pretty much everything about you; how you think, what’s going through your mind, what type of person you are, I mean…. it’s crazy, having that many cameras on you constantly, it was just an unbelievable experience.

IGN: So, it’s obvious that this will make you more prepared for Q school, but do you think this will be the difference in you driving your team to win the lingerie bowl this year?
Blair: (laughs)

IGN: If you have third and long- there’s no way that you’re going to get nervous!
Blair: If I’ve got third and long? Ohhhhh!

IGN: I can tell right now that you are a natural blond!
Blair: (laughing) I am a natural blond! I’ll give you that! (laughing)
Ok, no, I mean, as far as issues of candidacy, I like being in front of the camera, I like that pressure. I am a competitive person, so being in a pressure situation, I like that and I thrive on it. But, you know playing in the lingerie bowl, of course there are going to be tons of people watching, tons of cameras, so yeah, I mean, I think the experiences I’ve had on this show will help during the Lingerie Bowl and on the golf course. Being in front of the cameras and just having that much focus on your shots, all eyes watching you, you’ve got to compete and do well.

IGN: Now, that you have gotten to know your teammates a little, training in Phoenix, who do you think is most likely to have a wardrobe malfunction, Janet Jackson style?
Blair: (laughs) Geez, that could almost happen to anyone out there, I don’t know, but I’m one of the smaller girls, so I think I’ll be safe, I don’t think I’ll be popping out.

IGN: There’s a few well-endowed girls out there, isn’t there?
Blair: Oh, there’s more than a few.

IGN: How did Halloween go this year? What were you?
Blair: Halloween was awesome this year. I was a Victoria’s Secret Angel, so it was a lot of fun.

IGN: How many of you girls were there, or did you go solo?
Blair: There were three of us dressed up as angels, which was fun, because my roommate and I were get crafty with the glitter, the bling, and the rhinestones to our costumes, so it was a good time.
