Watch as volunteer gets close to massive snake at PGA Championship

Turtles made an appearance on Thursday, while snakes showed up on Friday.

During the second round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, play was momentarily halted on the 10th hole as a snake made its way across the fairway.

This occurrence happened close to 2003 PGA Champion Shaun Micheel, who swiftly stepped back to give the snake room to move by.

A PGA Championship volunteer then stepped up to help nudge the snake into the rough and away from Micheel’s ball.

“I wouldn’t mess with that fella,” analyst and former Masters champ Trevor Immelman said on the ESPN broadcast.

The volunteer got a little too aggressive at one point, poking it in the midsection to try and hurry it up.

The snake quickly snapped its attention to the volunteer.

“That’s what you got to avoid. … Now, he’s riled up,” another announcer said.

The snake seemed to move into the rough of the Charlotte-area course before ESPN returned to the golf portion of their coverage.

Micheel was unfazed by the incident, knocking his shot to 11 feet and then pouring in the birdie putt.

The 56-year-old was just outside the cut line as he moved through his second round.

“They’d have to take it to the next county over for me to continue playing,” one commenter wrote on X.

During the opening round Thursday, turtles had emerged from a nearby lake and settled into a bunker that forced play to be halted for repairs.
