Michael Block’s fairytale run at the PGA Championship just took another magical turn. 

Block — a 46-year-old club pro from California — hit a hole-in-one on the 15th hole — causing the crowd to erupt at Oak Hill East Course on the final day of the PGA Championship. The shot was an unbelievable moment for Block, who teaches golf lessons and was the only one one of 20 PGA head professionals to make the cut. 

As the crowd erupted, Block appeared in disbelief and questioned whether the shot went in. But it was clear to everyone who could see the hole: 



Block — who is tied for 15th through 16 holes — reportedly charges $150 per hour for a lesson. That might get a lot more expensive soon.
