Michael Block, an American professional golfer, rose to fame at the recent PGA Championship when he made an ace at Oak Hill’s 15th hole with a 7 iron club. Since then, he has gained traction as the USGA fan favorite.

Block feared for life! You really think so?

While DJ Khaled, who is a bit on the heavy side, and Michael Block seemed to enjoy the incredible moment, most golf fans poked fun. A fan commented, “I know bro feared for his life when u jumped into his arms.” While few took a dig and commented: “Block damn near lost both of his knees.”

“Bro how could he hold him.”

One playfully wrote, “Tell em to bring out the chiropractor.” Another seemed unimpressed with DJ Khaled’s decision and commented, “Michael block as your team mate? I feel like this is borderline cheating!”

However, there were also some positive reactions from the golf community. One felt amused and wrote, “how cute.” A fan vibed with DJ Khaled and commented, “LET’S GO Nice.” Another fan commented, “FAN LUV- that’s a major KEY ALERT.”

 Fan largely mocked DJ Khaled! But one is tempted to say it was all in jest, nothing personal. In fact, the reaction from golf and music fans was delightful, if anything, showing how a magnificent moment on the golf course can bring different people together in light-hearted banter.
