Overview
- Block shot a bogey‑free 7‑under 65 on Saturday, including an eagle on the par‑5 first, to reach 13‑under through 36 holes and carry a two‑stroke lead into the final round.
- The PGA Tour Champions' official account confirmed Block’s total as a new Ally Challenge 36‑hole scoring record.
- Block is competing on a sponsor exemption, so a top‑10 or better would qualify him for the Sanford International and put him on the Charles Schwab Cup money list with playoff implications.
- Recent Rogers winner Steven Alker sits two strokes back at 11‑under with Padraig Harrington and several veterans close behind, meaning Block faces an experienced group for Sunday’s finish.
- Block credited his son Ethan, who is caddying, for steadying him, and a win would likely change his season by unlocking more starts and boosting his standing on the senior tour.
