Michael Block had an incredible week at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, dunking an ace on the par-3 15th hole Sunday en route to a T-15 finish.
It was one of the best performances by a PGA of America Professional at its major championship, which each years grants 20 spots to pros who advance through the PGA Professional Championship. And this year, Block is back and will take on Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
