Horschel played his college golf for the Florida Gators, so he knows plenty about the wildlife that gets seen on courses in the Sunshine State — including, yes, alligators.

"The majority of the time, they’re fine. I grew up with my dad grabbing their tail when they’re on the side of the bank and shooing them back in the water. I never touched a tail with my hand but I’ve done it with a club.

Golfer Billy Horschel went face-to-face with an alligator on his way to the seventh hole at the PGA National Tour in Florida. Horschel used his 60-degree wedge to shoo the gator into the water.
