Personal

• Made national headlines at Q-School in 2018 when his clubs were stolen before the final round. Managed to piece together a set with help from Titleist reps, the head pro and the superintendent. Shot a 63 to finish T25 and earn guaranteed starts on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2019.
• Uses a lucky Ford Mustang ball marker.
• Loves basketball. Grew up in the San Francisco East Bay, and his grandparents took him and his brother to Golden State Warriors games growing up. Gave up basketball to play golf because he was too small (about 4-foot-10 and 85 pounds his freshman year of high school).
• Favorite early memory of a pro tournament was watching Tiger Woods in the 2009 Presidents Cup at TPC Harding Park. Blick was in the stands on No. 18 and saw the walking club twirl.
• His favorite athlete is Tiger Woods. Dream foursome would include his brother, Woods and Arnold Palmer. Favorite sports team is the Oakland Athletics, and his favorite course is Cypress Point GC.
• Brother, Connor, is also a professional golfer.

Special Interests
