The legend of Michael Block continues to grow.
It was one thing when Block, the 46-year-old club pro from Mission Viejo, California, did a walk-and-talk interview on Thursday or earned himself some TV time on Friday as he flirted with the lead, shanked a shot, and then regrouped to comfortably make the cut. But it’s another now that as this 105th PGA Championship turns to Sunday, Block hasn’t gone away.
Back-to-back birdies, at Nos. 14-15, on Saturday at Oak Hill Country Club’s East Course helped Block card his third straight even-par 70 to hang around at T-8, six shots back of 54-hole leader Brooks Koepka.
