For years, Michael Block marked his golf ball with a reminder to hit each shot with confidence:<\/p>\n
Why not?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not be me?\u201d Block explained. \u201cWhy not hit a good shot?\u201d<\/p>\n
Why not \u2026 get a crazy haircut?<\/p>\n
When Block saw that Monti the Barber, a regular at USGA championships, was at Scioto Country Club ahead of this week\u2019s U.S. Senior Open, he immediately booked a time ahead of Wednesday\u2019s press conference. For Block, who is making not only his senior major debut but is hyped for Wednesday night\u2019s World Cup match between the U.S. and Bosnia and Herzegovina, he wanted to make a statement with the fresh cut.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was like, \u2018Dude, I\u2019ve got to get U.S.A. shaved in my head somehow,\u2019\u201d Block said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got the World Cup at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday is July 4; I\u2019m playing the U.S. Open. This is all meant to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, I\u2019ve got a U.S.A. shaved on [the back of] my head. Should be there for about a week.\u201d<\/p>\n
