Terrifying Footage of an Alligator Crossing Paths With PGA Tour Golfers at the Zurich Classic

Zurich Classic is one of the favorite tournaments of the fans for many reasons. It is known for being a team event and the walk-up music for the first tee introduction before the third round. Furthermore, the TPC Louisiana golf course that hosts the event is famous for its alligators. 

The PGA Tour shared the video of a scary alligator walking across the golf course while the golfers were present. 

The “uninvited intruder” is seen walking across the course at a slow pace at the beginning of the video. However, the alligator soon sprinted down to the water body near it.

This is not the first time the event has seen the alligators walking on the golf course. Therefore, nobody was scared to be on the course with it. Furthermore, the golfers were way too away from the reptile, so nobody was in danger at all. 

Tour pro got scared of the alligator!

Although the first alligator didn’t frighten anybody present at the golf course, the English golfer Callum Tarren had a totally opposite reaction.

The video that the PGA Tour shared on Twitter shows how Tarren got scared of the 12-footer alligator when he spotted one. The golfer had already set his tee close to the gator. Yet, he hadn’t taken notice of the reptile until he was about to make the drop. The golfer’s action surprised the commentators as they couldn’t help but laugh at the situation. 

Callum Tarren has teamed up with fellow English golfer David Skinns. After the third round of the tournament, the team secured the T19 spot on the leaderboard. They have scored a 17-under 199 as of now. 

Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are leading the 2022 Zurich Classic!

Callum Tarren and his fellow teammate have played well and earned a good score. However, Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele have already established their position at the top. 

The American duo has been maintaining their position since the first round as they had scored an impressive 59 in it. 

Furthermore, Schauffele and Cantlay scored a 29-under 187 after the end of the third round. Presently, they have a five-shot lead against their closest opponents.  

Although some were not bothered by the alligators, some golfers got frightened because of them. The deadly reptiles did make it difficult for the golfers to play a peaceful game.
