PGA record wobbled
“Don’t be afraid!” Alligator hero delights golf fans
The PGA Tour tournament in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, had several thrills to offer on Thursday. Billy Horschel became an alligator hero, Jake Knapp almost made history - and Sepp Straka was there live ...
Straka started the PGA Tour tournament in Palm Beach Gardens (Florida) on Thursday with a solid round of 67 (4 under par) and a place around 25th position.
However, others provided the excitement of the day: Jake Knapp came within a whisker of a PGA record with 59 strokes, in keeping with his name, and Billy Horschel put an alligator to flight.
With 12 under par, the US American Knapp managed only the 15th round under 60 strokes in the history of the PGA Tour. The 30-year-old was already on the verge of setting the lowest round in history, but missed the eagle putt on the last hole by just a few centimetres and ultimately had to settle for a birdie.
"I have no fear"
Horschel was also in good form, shooing an alligator around two meters long back into the water with his club on the way to the seventh hole. "I'm not afraid of them," said the eight-time PGA tournament winner, who grew up in Florida. "They're more afraid of you. Most of the time they only attack you during mating season." Horschel's excitement may indeed have been limited, as he reached the clubhouse at 5 under par.
