Michael Block earned himself some TV time by climbing onto the first page of the leaderboard Friday morning at the 105th PGA Championship.
Then came the untimely shank.
The 46-year-old head pro at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California, reached 3 under, a shot off the lead, after a birdie at the par-4 first hole, his 10th of the day, and held steady with a couple pars to follow. He then bogeyed the par-5 fourth hole, short-siding himself with his third shot, before stepping on the tee box at the par-3 fifth and catching all hosel.
