Michael Block, one of the 20 club pros participating in the ongoing PGA Championship, hit one of the craziest shots in the history of the tournament. Block was himself shocked after he hit an ace on 15th hole.
Block, who became the second-ever club professional to make the cut at the PGA Championship in the last two decades, waved his cap to the crowd after hitting the incredible shot.
In a video uploaded by the PGA Tour on Twitter, Michael Block was heard constantly saying 'No way' and he asked:
"Did it go in? Did it really?"
Block's shot was only the 29th Ace scored at the PGA Championship since 1983. The ball traveled to a massive height of 97 feet as it landed perfectly in the hole 150-yards away.
Block's playing partner Rory McIlroy high-fived him after his unbelievable shot.
