The alligator was on the edge of the water and was caught on Sky Sports cameras.
Presenter Bela Shah was not sure whether it was an alligator or a crocodile.
But she insisted that “it’s terrifying, whatever it is.”
The alligator was not the only animal that caught the attention of the tournament.
An otter was spotted on the green on the 13th hole, disrupting the players.
The commentators believed it was a River Otter and are “quite common” in the area.
It then shot away from the action and made its way through the bunker, leaving a tiny set of pawprints.
Viewers reacted to the otter’s appearance on the course on social media.
