BILLY HORSCHEL was dubbed a “legend” by Paige Spiranac after going full “gator whisperer” to bravely herd an alligator off a golf course.
The stunning incident occurred during the PGA National on Thursday at the Cognizant Classic.

Horschel was enjoying his opening round of golf in Florida when an alligator made its way onto the field of play.
The cheeky creature disrupted play as it parked itself on the green.
But Horschel is not one to walk away from a challenge.
And he took things into his own hands by shooing the alligator back to its watering hole.
Horschel used his golf club to create some distance between himself and the roving reptile.
He then gave the alligator a prod to get things moving.
The scaly intruder quickly turned on its hind legs after realising Horschel meant business.
The golf star continued to approach with confidence.

And the alligator took it as a final warning before scarpering back into a neighbouring lake.
Horschel’s behaviour went down well with fans, who gave him a rapturous round of applause.

The ace then jogged back to his original position before teeing off.
And glam golf favourite Spiranac was quick to heap praise on Horschel.
She said: “The best part is the jog after to keep pace of play. Legend.”
Other supporters hailed Horschel’s heroics too.
One said: “The gator whisperer.”
Another declared: “Now that’s a hazard!”
One noted: “Florida things.”
Another added: “Did it like a boss too.”
