An alligator invaded a golf course during a PGA Tour event in the United States, causing a commotion as players evacuated.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 28th (local time) that "an alligator wandered across the tee box in front of golf stars preparing their shots during the final round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, Louisiana."

The media stated, "As the massive reptile strutted across the course as if it were its own living room, players and caddies on the tee box simultaneously froze and moved aside. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the tournament resumed normally after the alligator left. This incident vividly showcased the wild environment unique to Louisiana golf courses."

As the on-site video spread via social media (SNS), fans poured out enthusiastic reactions. "Imagine trying to focus on your swing in front of a prehistoric swamp dog strolling across the green," one commented, while another joked, "The alligator needs a slow-play warning," expressing amusement.

Meanwhile, on this day, Matt Fitzpatrick and Alex Fitzpatrick (both from the UK) made history as the first brothers to win a PGA Tour team event. After briefly falling behind by four strokes and facing a crisis, they secured the victory with a dramatic birdie on the final hole, which was played in alternate shot format where they took turns hitting the same ball.

In particular, older brother Matt Fitzpatrick, following his previous victory at the RBC Heritage, surged to back-to-back PGA Tour wins, displaying peak form.

The media noted, "Although the Fitzpatrick brothers dramatically lifted the championship trophy, the most talked-about topic among fans immediately after the event was undoubtedly the unexpected appearance of the alligator."
