WHOLEY believes that the crocodile was about 20 feet away in the water when he played his shot from the bank at the 11th Sunday in the Sanderson Farms championship.

He was out of his head at that moment, and yes, he was fully aware that the crocodile looked at him, his full head on the water.
“Well, fortunately my back was for him to be able to concentrate on the shot for a second,” said Whaley, added that he had “a lot of confidence” in his caddie monitoring the situation.
The crocodile never moved. Whaley went up to the putting surface and went up and went down for the pair. He finished with a 67 and tied in third.
And the plan if the crocodile had moved?
“The plan was to get out of the water,” he said.
