Pro Golfer Panics After Nearly Stepping On Gator He Confused For Rock On Fla. Course


On Thursday, a pro golfer named Cody Gribble calmly tapped the tail of a gator lurking near a pond at the 6th hole of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Florida, sending the large reptile scurrying into the water. One day later, the gator—apparently emboldened by the tap—returned to terrify a different golfer.

As the excellently-named Smylie Kaufman was strolling confidently by the same pond on Friday, he appeared to believe he was heading towards a rock when he suddenly realized the the object in his way was not a rock at all–it was actually a large gator. Kaufman quickly leaped back and raised his club in a defensive manner, then continued walking away from the massive reptile in horror.

Of course, it could have been worse for Smylie—the gator could’ve been in the middle of eating a huge fish for lunch.
