Michael Block won the 2023 SCPGA Match Play Championship and earned a spot in the Wide Technology Championship. His victory at the event impressed fans and they said that he deserved a spot in the 2023 US Ryder Cup team.
However, it's too late for the golfer to be the captain's pick for the biennial event as the tournament is all set to start this week. The NUCLR Golf shared a post on Michael Block's victory with a caption saying:
"THE #BLOCK PARTY CONTINUES — Michael Block has won the @scpga Match Play Championship, his second major championship of the season. With the win Block earns a spot in the PGA Tours World Wide Technology Championship this November."

"Too late for a captains pick? Imagine him and Rory. I’ll see myself out."
US Ryder Cup skipper Zach Johnson announced his roster for the tournament last month after the conclusion of the Tour Championship. He picked up Sam Burns, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa and Brooks Koepka.
The six-captain pick will join the auto-qualifiers that include current World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, 2023 Open Championship winner Brian Harman, 2023 US Open winner Wyndham Clark, 2023 Farmers Insurance winner Max Homa, 7x PGA Tour winner Xander Schauffele and former World No.3 golfer Patrick Cantlay.
However, fans would like to see Michael in Rome this week.
"we need this guy in Rome! asap," wrote another.
"Ryder Cup snub!" another fan commented.
