Michael Block sheds tears while making a moving confession

Block, who recently shocked the golf world with his T15 finish at the PGA Championship, is back in the headlines. But this time, it’s not because of his epic golfing skills.

Currently, the golf coach turned golf superstar is struggling really hard to move positions on the Charles Schwab leaderboard. But as it turns out, he is stuck at the last spot in the tournament.

Clearly, it is not a good place for Block to be in. And while talking about his first-round finish, he simply couldn’t hold his tears in. “If you are a golfer, you’ve had the day I had, and you understand the facts of where the lies aren’t good and trees are in your way every time, and even your good shots are bad, your bad shots are worse…and you know what? It is what it is!” he said. “I going to live with it.”
