Michael Block, a golf club professional from Southern California, achieved a remarkable feat on Sunday at the 105th PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York. Block defied the odds and etched his name in golfing history with a stunning hole-in-one in the final round, finishing in the top 15 at a major and making an ace during the final round with the entire sport watching.
Block was playing alongside his idol, the No. 3 golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy. Block recalled how only a week ago he was having drinks at the Pittsford Pub — a few par-5s away from where the PGA Championship was being held — and no one knew who he was.
The 46-year-old accomplished what most golfers only dream of, and was rewarded with a crystal bowl for being the low club professional at the PGA Championship. Block was overwhelmed with emotion, and is now looking forward to celebrating his achievement with friends and family.
“We’re going to have a crazy night,” Block said. “I’m just a club professional from a public golf course in Orange County, California, and all of a sudden … I’m going to enjoy it.”
Block’s remarkable performance has put him in the spotlight, and he is now looking forward to the future with optimism. His days of living in anonymity might be over for the near future, and he is looking forward to celebrating his incredible achievement with friends and family.
