Michael Block expresses gratitude for his supporters
When asked where his tremendous feelings came from, Block expressed gratitude to his supporters and humbly admitted:
"I feel very, very lucky. My family, My Club, The members, The PGA, Everything - The support I'm a very, very lucky guy."
Block attributed his achievement to a combination of skill, dedication, and the lucky circumstances that have created his incredible career. He also recognized the significant relationship between an individual's mental and emotional state and their performance on the course.
"If your life is in a good place the hole looks big and that's what I figured out long time ago. I wasn't going to be a TOUR pro because I don't want to have to make putts to pay my mortgage. So, I'm like I need a real job that's going to be paying me weekly so that will make the hole look bigger."
