Every so often, a story unfolds in the world of golf that captivates the hearts of fans and players alike. One such story unfolded last week when Michael Block, a 46-year-old club pro from Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, took the PGA Tour by storm.
Starting the week as the only club pro to make the 36-hole cut, Block was set to share the greens with some of the biggest names in golf. But what unfolded was more than anyone could have anticipated. Michael Block didn’t just participate in the tournament; he made history.
The fairytale week began at Oak Hill, where Block aced the 151-yard par-3 15th hole on Sunday, leaving spectators and fellow golfers in awe. Using a 7-iron, Block sent his tee shot into the air at “Plateau,” the shortest hole on the course, and dunked it. As the crowd erupted, Block’s astonishment was palpable. “No, no way,” he said. “Are you kidding me? I’ll cause that delay anytime.”
Block’s exceptional performance led to an incredible achievement: the 29th ace in PGA Championship history. He finished the day at even par for the tournament, an impressive feat for any golfer, let alone a club pro. His stellar performance didn’t end there. Block needed a top-15 finish to secure his spot in the upcoming PGA events, and he achieved just that, tying for 13th place with Max Homa and Dustin Johnson, two of the sport’s giants.
After his remarkable round, and after signing countless autographs, Block was set to continue his journey at the next PGA event: the RBC Canadian Open. His fairytale week topped off with him earning $288,333 for his work on the course, a well-deserved reward for his tireless dedication to the sport.
