Michael Block, the teaching pro that became an instant household name during the 2023 PGA Championship, came up just short in his U.S. Open qualifier on Monday.
Michael Block speaks to the media after the final round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club on Sunday, May 21, 2023 in Rochester, New York.
Ryan Gerard won the day at 11-under, while Vincent Norman was behind him at 8-under as they look ahead to next week’s major. Block didn’t have the same success at Colonial Country Club the next week, where he was a sponsor’s exemption at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas. He had the worst score of any golfer in the field with 15-over posted over two rounds, which included a tough 81 on Thursday. He fared better with a 74 the next day before missing the cut.
While Block won’t be playing at this year’s U.S. Open, at least he can look forward to playing in next year’s PGA Championship without needing to qualify. Block needed to finish in 15th or better to be invited next year, and he did so with a beautiful up-and-down on 18 to finish his fantastic week at Oak Hill.
