Just a week ago, Michael Block's incredible PGA Championship was yet to begin, but he certainly wouldn't have imagined it would finish with Piers Morgan asking him questions about sex.
Block, 46, was the everyman's hero at Oak Hill Country Club, qualifying as a teaching professional and remarkably finishing tied for 15th, with a hole-in-one in the final round while playing alongside world number three Rory McIlroy for good measure.
Block produced several memorable shots over the weekend, including a majestic pitch from the rough on the 18th on Sunday to book his place in next year's PGA Championship, but the highlight was his slam-dunk ace on the 155-yard par three 15th, sending the crowd wild and celebrating with McIlroy.
It truly was a dream week for Block, the had professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in California, as he became the crowd favourite in western New York over the weekend. Everyone has wanted a piece of Block since and he appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday evening, reflecting on one of the best weeks of his life.
Morgan concluded their conversation with an interesting question. "Just to clarify, the moment you knew you got that hole-in-one, better than sex, Michael?" he asked. Block burst out in laughter before giving his response. "Absolutely not," he said.
Morgan replied: "You thought about that! I'm not sure that's a genuine answer, but you thought your wife is watching this, didn't you? Be honest." Block wisely kept his words to a minimum. "You're horrible," he said, still chuckling. "That was great, though."
Block charges $150 for an hour-long lesson at Arroyo Trabuco, with a nine-hole playing lesson costing $500. His memorable week earned him much more than that, pocketing a cool $283,333 (£229,000) in prize money.
But that is not the only reward he received for his impressive 72-hole score of one over par in tough conditions, 10 shots back from winner Brooks Koepka, who lifted his fifth major championship and third Wanamaker Trophy.
Block has received invitations to the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, which gets underway on Thursday, and next month's RBC Canadian Open. Block will play alongside Min Woo Lee and Pierceson Coody in the first two rounds at Colonial, and he is sure to attract a big crowd.
Block added: "I feel (emotional) every time I hear somebody tell me these items, like I had no idea that I was in the next PGA Championship or how much I won or what other tournaments I got into. Every time I hear these great things, it just brings me to tear.
"It's been amazing and I'm definitely an emotional rollercoaster right now."
