The month of May is a syzygy of sports not the least of which is golf and specifically, the second major of the year. The Professional Golf Association Championship. This year fighting some tough weather through the weekend, with Sunday clearing up for a beautiful day of golf at the highest level and a crowded leader board. While a familiar former three-time Sportsman of the Week won the Wanamaker Trophy (that being Brooks Koepka), it was a player more like the rest of us who stole the show with his level of play. Golf Pro Michael Block was already a fan favorite as the only Pro to make the cut and surge into Sunday. Not only that, he was hovering around the Top 20 eventually finishing 15th. But it was his shot on the Par 3 15th hole that sent the crowd into a frenzy. The 46-year-old hit a 7-iron and dunked it straight into the hole. Not even believing it, he turned to his playing partner Rory McIlroy (also former Sportsman of the Week) who was high fiving him like no tomorrow. Love a sports where your competitors cheer your success and love our Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
