Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:11 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. – St. Louis native and Parkway Central High grad Michael Block is riding high after a scintillating strike led to a hole-in-one at the PGA Championship, drawing plaudits and high-fives from Rory McIlroy, and adulation from the gallery.Block was the only player to score a hole-in-one at last weekend's event. The ace on the 15th hole—a 212-yard, par 3—helped Block finish 1-over par for the major, good enough to finish in a tie for 15th place, the best for a club pro since at a PGA Championship since 1986. Sunday's final round of play saw Block, who teaches golf as a club pro in Southern California, paired with McIlroy, a four-time majors champion. Block strode up to the 15th tee at Oak Hill Country Club, 7-iron in hand. His swing was true, as the ball left the tee at nearly 120 miles an hour. The ball traveled in a perfect arc, dropping straight into the hole; no thumping on the green needed. Retired Post-Dispatch sports writer Rick Hummel dead at 77 As the crowd roa...
