Michael Block has a chance to make history at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York.
Block, who has opened the tournament with back-to-back even-par 70s, is the PGA Head Professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, California.
As of 1 p.m. ET Friday, Block was tied for 10th at Oak Hill. If he were to finish solo 11th or better, Block would hold the record for the best finish by a PGA professional at the PGA Championship.
