Respess' sister, Phyllis, was on the 10th hole when they noticed the gator. Phyllis took cover in a bunker when her husband Nolan shouted, "Look behind you. Look behind you."

Respass took the opportunity to capture the rare sighting that has since gone viral.



"What a sight. He's holding on to that fish," Respass said. "I don't want to get near you. I'm glad you got the fish."
