"I didn't cry when I had my kids" - Michael Block emotional after a stellar performance at the 2023 PGA Championship

The 46-year-old Club Pro would be the only other person who's happy apart from the 2023 PGA Championship winner, Brooks Koepka. After finishing his career-best performance at any of the majors he competed in, Michael Block reflected on his sensational performance at the tournament.

In an interview with CBS, Block revealed that he has not cried a lot in his life. He shared that golf is dear to him and the last time he cried was back in 2014. He said,

"I didn't cry when I had my kids. I cried, for some reason. If you love golf, you know. I cry about golf, to be honest. I have cried only a couple times in my life. When I won the National Championship in 2014 in Myrtle Beach. At The Dunes Club I cried. And after that, my wife hasn't seen me cry until this week."

Michael Block's immense love for golf was seen at the Oak Hill County Club. It was his patience and constant hard work that earned him his place after so many years of competing professionally. Speaking about his love for golf, he said,

"It's everything to me. Obviously, I love my family and everything else and my job and everything, but golf is my life. I live it, breathe it."

Block has now booked a spot in next year's PGA Championship. But before that, he also received a special invite to the 2023 RBC Canadian Open.
