\u201cMonty the Barber, who is here onsite this week for all the players. In 2018 he was the barber at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock, and I\u2019d had my haircut by him at that U.S. Open as well,\u201d Block told The Fried Egg\u2019s Brendan Porath. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just saw yesterday he had posted something, because we follow each other on Instagram, and he posted something and he was here. I said, you\u2019ve got to be kidding me. Could my son and I come in at noon tomorrow before I go in for an interview? He\u2019s like, let\u2019s go. I was walking down 18 fairway here, and I was like, dude, I\u2019ve got to get USA shaved in my head somehow. We\u2019ve got the World Cup at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday is July 4th; I\u2019m playing the U.S. Open. This is all meant to be. Now I\u2019ve got a USA shaved on my head. Should be there for about a week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Love him or hate him (at this point you have to love him, right?), there\u2019s no denying that this is classic Blockie. Whether he\u2019s dunking more aces than God, starring in hilarious local commercials, contending in his first-ever PGA Tour Champions start or shaving \u201cUSA\u201d into the back of his head for a major week, Block remains one of golf\u2019s biggest spotlight magnets \u2026 and we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n
