When they are in Florida, look out for Gators on the golf course.
Unless you are Bill Horschel.
Horschel, a Florida Gators Alumnus, he knows all about actual players who winding on the track. It happened in PGA National Thursday during the first round of Cognizant classic.
Horschel was noticed with his 60 degrees wedge Reducing the gator approaching him during his circle, and he entered the club house tied 16th.

Looking inappropriate, Horschel knocked on Gator and pulled into the water.
After the circle, Horschel spoke of the moment that became viral on social media.
“I’m not afraid of Gator,” Horschel said via ESPN. “Listen, as I say most people, I said,” They are more afraid. “Most of the time, they will only come after you during the mating season where they are a little aggressive, and then if you are around their nest when they have eggs.

This does not mean that Horschel was not careful. He made sure he was not aggressively trying to break through Gator. Was calm and collected, just like during many pressing moments during his Pga tour career.
Gator appeared as Horschel finished his sixth hole during the circle and found Gator as he walked to the next box for a teenager.

“He wasn’t good anywhere,” Horschel added. “So I just went there, helped the cop.”
Horschel ended his day with four birds, one eagle and one fool. Bogey came to a hole of 4 other holes, but he plowed a third of Par-5 to get back under the couple.
Horschel birds hole eight, nine and 10, and after cooling down a little on his back nine, with some parks, finished a circle with a bird in 18th place.
Although this would be a great circle in any other tournament, Horschel must catch up because Jake Knapp shot a whopping 59 to bring him into the lead after the 1st round at 12-and-in-out.
