From jonmccarthySUN: Meet Michael Block, club pro beating world's best golfers at PGA Championship
Block’s confidence shouldn’t to be misinterpreted as cockiness. On the second last hole of Friday’s round, he walked over and gave Pendrith a low-five after the Canadian made a tough up-and-down for par.
In Thursday’s first round, Block made everything he looked at on the greens, rolling in more than 100-feet of putts. On Friday, the putter cooled off, but he drove the ball wonderfully, hitting 11 of 14 fairways, finishing the day ninth in strokes-gained-off-the-tee.It wasn’t all roses for the surprise fan-favourite at Oak Hill in Rochester.
Block was happy the ball didn’t kill anyone and said he was fortunate to even make a double bogey. To top it off, as a teaching professional, he was nice enough to offer a quick lesson on how he helps students get over a bad case of the shanks.
