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.

Billy Horschel, a Florida Gator himself, encountered one DURING THE MIDDLE OF HIS ROUND ON THURSDAY and took it upon himself to chase it back into the water. This actually happened! Brentley Romine of the Golf Channel captured the incident on video:

"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.
