(Reuters) - Michael Block had a near ace and managed to save par from a bridge but ultimately endured a miserable start to the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday in his first start since taking the PGA Championship by storm last week.
Block, the 46-year-old clubhouse professional who finished in a share of 15th at the year's second major, struggled to an 11-over-par 81 at Colonial Country Club that left him dead last in the 120-player field and 19 shots back of leader Harry Hall.
