Rickie Fowler is having an interesting third round at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Through nine holes at Quail Hollow Club, he was even for the day and 3 under for the tournament, chasing his first PGA Tour win since the 2019 WM Phoenix Open.

However, the highlight of his day probably won’t come from a golf shot.

On Saturday, Fowler channeled his inner Steve Irwin and picked up a snake with a wedge.

This isn’t the first time a player has had an interaction with an animal during a tournament. Cody Gribble famously spanked an alligator on the tail at the 2017 Arnold Palmer Invitational to get it back in the water and away from the rest of the field.

Rickie Fowler the … snake charmer?!
