Entering the week, Michael Block had qualified for two U.S. Opens and four PGA Championships and never had made a cut. Until Friday.
Those words are stamped on the golf balls Block has been hitting this week during the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, as one of the 20 club professionals in the field and the only one of them to make the cut on Friday.
“Out loud while I was over the golf ball, I said, ‘Why not?’ Then I proceeded to drain it and made it into the U.S. Open at Oakmont, which is my first [major] event I ever played in.’’ “Nothing can go wrong from this point forward for me,’’ Block said. “For a lot of guys on the weekend, the hole starts to look smaller. I made the cut, my game’s good and the hole’s going to look big for me.’’Block was having a Ferris Bueller-like week, with everything going his way, until he reached a pressure-point moment in his round Friday.
“In my head, I’m going, ‘You have got to be kidding me right now,’ ’’ Block said. “I’ve been flushing it all day. The last couple days, the driving range has been like a video game. It came out of nowhere.’’
