Michael Block's performance at the 2023 PGA Championship
LIV golfer Brooks Koepka won the 2023 PGA Championship, which took place at Oak Hills Country Club from May 18 to May 21. He defeated PGA Tour players Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland by two strokes.
However, Michael Block was making headlines back then thanks to his outstanding performance at the major. He finished in a tie for 15th place with Tyrrell Hatton and Eric Cole. Block performed admirably throughout the competition, shooting three rounds of 70, followed by scoring 71 in the final.
He started with a bogey on the first hole in the opening round, followed by a birdie on the next hole. The American carded two birdies and three bogeys on the front nine of the first round and three birdies on the back nine to score 70.
In the second round of the tournament, he went on to make four birdies and two bogeys, along with one double bogey, to score even par 70.
In the third round again, he scored four birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey for an even-par 70 score. However, in the finale of the competition, he struggled to make any birdies and added two bogeys. To his credit, he had also made an eagle, which helped him score one-over par 71 and finish in a tie for 15th place.
