The 105th PGA Championship is over after four days of thrill. American golf star, Brooks Koepka has claimed his third PGA Victory, making him the first LIV golfer to ever win the title. Players like Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Scottie Scheffler, Corey Conners, and many more such big names made the Tournament all the more exciting. However, it was an unknown player who became the talk of the town after the winner himself shared a friendly moment with him. 

Despite Brooks Koepka making headlines after winning the Wanamaker Trophy at Oak Hills Country Club, fans couldn’t help but give more attention to the PGA club pro as he finished 8th at the event. This led to the Man of the Match, Koepka, making a funny comment to the other star of the event.

Brooks gave a friendly banter to Block

The golf world is noticing how much of a fairytale life Michael Block is living. Block earned himself a whopping $288,333 paycheck, his biggest ever. He also received friendly banter with the PGA winner, Brooks Koepka himself. Brooks, who’ll be taking $3.1 million home, teased Block playfully saying, “I heard you’re buying drinks,” for his golden shot. Both the PGA 2023 stars shared a quick hug before parting away. 

The 46-year-old secured himself in the eighth position on the leaderboard with a T15  during the closing round of the PGA. The golf club pro impressively maintained himself on the leaderboard and gave fans an iconic moment to witness as he shot one of the rarest shots on the course. After all, being asked for drinks from the winner himself is not a small deal.
