Michael Block, the PGA club pro who burst onto the national scene a few weeks ago after he finished 15th in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, failed to qualify for the U.S. Open on Monday.
In the final 36-hole qualifying round of the year, Block shot 5-under 135 at Lambton Golf & Country Club in Toronto. He finished in sixth place, two shots shy of the three qualifying spots.
Ryan Gerard (11 under), Vincent Norman (8 under) and Ryan Armour (7 under) are all set to compete at Los Angeles Country Club next week.
Block was in Canada competing at the RBC Canadian Open after receiving a sponsor's invite due to his incredible performance at the PGA Championship.
