Michael Block\u2019s life completely changed in four days at the 2023 PGA Championship<\/a> at Oak Hill to the point NBA legend Michael Jordan is sending him texts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As one would expect, the club professional from Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club<\/a> in Mission Viejo, California, received a boatload of texts and calls after he finished tied for 15th at the major last weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Block didn\u2019t just make the cut. He entered Sunday in the top 10, paired with Rory McIlroy, and managed to dunk a hole-in-one in his final round that gave him an overall 1-over finish that will have him exempt for next year\u2019s PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Block is trying to respond to all who sent praise, but he admitted to ESPN it\u2019s been difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I literally scroll and scroll and scroll, and it\u2019s never-ending. I can\u2019t even get to the bottom of any of my feeds to even see how many or who\u2019s seeing me. So it\u2019s been crazy,” Block said.<\/p>\n

Within the many messages was one from Jordan, an avid golfer who was watching the tournament and noticed Block was wearing some of his Air Jordan<\/a> lows on the course throughout the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a big Jordan guy my whole life. I was a little kid in Iowa saving 100 bucks for a pair of Jordans back in the day,” Block said, via ESPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jordan sent nothing but positivity to Block, saying, “what he saw is why he loves the game of golf so much.”<\/p>\n

Despite playing in the PGA Championship and U.S. Open<\/a> in the past, Block still can\u2019t believe what he was able to accomplish at a course so difficult that the likes of John Rahm (7-over), Dustin Johnson (9-over) and Tony Finau (15-over) struggled to post good rounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s always amazing to see someone who, if you go to the U.S. Amateur or the U.S. Mid-Am and you see those players how great they are, and they have a job,” Max Homa, who finished 9-over in the major, said. “I spend all my days here practicing golf. That\u2019s all I have to do, and he can still whoop me real good.”<\/p>\n

Block\u2019s performance not only showcased his skills on a golf course. It quickly made him a fan favorite. He was a man of the people throughout the week, getting choked up left and right after realizing what he was accomplishing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve said it a lot, but it\u2019s just a dream,” he said, via ESPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And he\u2019ll be back on the PGA Tour this week after the Charles Schwab Challenge made him a sponsor\u2019s exemption at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Again, the tears flowed when he got the call for that. But Block knows now his golf game is at the point he can compete with the best in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, while still trying to comprehend what he\u2019s accomplished, he has a job to do this week. And many, including “His Airness<\/a>,” will be rooting for him to continue shocking the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
