However, golf influencer Paige Spiranac was hoping for a little more oomph. She discussed the moment on the latest episode of her podcast «Playing A Round» posted Tuesday.
«I’m just saying, if I’m on camera and I walk up to my man, I go over to hug him, I lift my head, I go for a kiss, and they just deny me a kiss in front of all these people on camera, I’ll bring it up later.» said.

«Not just later that day, but every day for the rest of our lives until we die. We’ll be lying next to each other on our deathbeds and saying, ‘Remember that moment when you didn’t kiss me in front of me? the camera? ‘ That would be the last thing I would say.»
Emotions running high, Block must have been in a daze when the round ended.
He got a payday close to $290,000 for its completion.
«My life has changed, but my life has only changed for the better,» Block said. «I have my family. I have my friends. I have the people who really love me and care about me here. It’s been an epic experience.»
