A Chip From the Old Block
“Brooks Koepka carded a 3-under 67 in the final round, finishing at 9 under for the tournament to win the Wanamaker Trophy for the third time.” And yet somehow, Koepka winning the PGA Championship for his 5th major title wasn’t the biggest story from this year’s PGA. That came courtesy of Michael Block, a SoCal teaching pro who made the cut (amazing), finished in top 15 (unthinkable), and even hit a final day hole in one (Do you believe in miracles?). Block on his legendary weekend and being mobbed by fans. “I’m living a dream. I’m making sure that I enjoy this moment. I’ve learned that after my 46 years of life, it’s not going to get better than this. There’s no way. No chance in hell. So I’m going to enjoy this.”
