Tour pro with side-splitting zinger over Michael Block's epic Rory reaction!

There is absolutely no denying Michael Block was the story of the 2023 PGA Championship.

Three rounds of level-par 70 doesn't particularly sound like much to shout about, does it?

But at Oak Hill, playing - and beating - the best players in the world when your full-time gig is the head pro at a joint called Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club then it makes for fairytale stuff. 

Especially when the largest cheque you've ever received from a professional golf tournament was $75,000 nine years ago. 

Block appeared somewhat overwhelmed when he was told he was comfortably beating Spanish World No. 1 Jon Rahm after he made the cut. 

Speaking before the final round, Block summed up his week perfectly.

Whatever happens, how will he look back at this achievement years from now?

That quote came before he found out he was playing his final round alongside Rory McIlroy. 

Watch that here: 

"Oh boy, we're gonna have some fun."

Turns out the only way he could prep for his moment was by heading to the bar. 

One man who has also played alongside Block is England's Eddie Pepperell, who chimed in:

Turns out I played with Michael Block at the 2018 PGA at Bellerive.



Also turns out he didn’t have the same reaction back then as he did yesterday after finding out he’s playing with Rory.

Never change, Eddie.
