Shaun Micheel didn’t seem fazed following an encounter with a sizable snake at the PGA Championship in Charlotte on Friday.
Micheel, who lifted the Wanamaker Trophy in 2003, saw the reptile slithering its way across the fairway on a par-5 10th hole at Quail Hollow Club.
A tournament volunteer bravely used his foot to usher the snake into the rough, allowing Micheel to hit his next shot to within 12 feet of the hole. Micheel, 56, ultimately converted his birdie putt.
The snake wasn’t the only unexpected visitor at the event.
A snapping turtle made his presence known as Ryan Gerard approached his ball near the 14th green on Thursday. The turtle ultimately made itself comfortable in the sand trap near the water.
