They say a bass<\/a> will eat just about anything that fits in its mouth. Turns out, that includes golf balls.<\/p>\n

LIV golfer Charl Schwartzel learned that the hard way during LIV Golf<\/a> New York at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster over the weekend, when his tee shot on the 134-yard, par-3 seventh hole landed on the green before spinning backward and rolling toward the water.<\/p>\n

And somebody was waiting for it.<\/p>\n

The instant Schwartzel’s ball hit the pond, a fish \u2014 seemingly a largemouth bass \u2014 exploded from the water and gobbled it up like someone had just tossed a topwater lure directly onto its head.<\/p>\n

Lightning fast. No hesitation. What an athlete.<\/p>\n

Largemouth bass are ambush predators whose normal menu includes fish, crayfish and frogs. They’ll also take live baits including lizards, insects and even small mice when given the opportunity. A Titleist isn’t exactly nutritious, but nobody told this guy.<\/p>\n

Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion<\/a> and winner of the first-ever LIV Golf event in 2022, was competing at Bedminster as LIV returned to the New York area Aug. 6-9.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, “a bass ate my ball” does not earn a free mulligan.<\/p>\n

Golf’s rules generally say there is no penalty when an outside influence \u2014 including an animal \u2014 moves a ball at rest, and the ball is ordinarily replaced. But Schwartzel’s ball had already entered the penalty area, so he ultimately took relief and a one-stroke penalty before making bogey.<\/p>\n

Golf courses, of course, produce plenty of wildlife cameos<\/a>. Alligators, snakes, birds and even bears and moose have all interrupted rounds before.<\/p>\n

But a largemouth waiting beside the green to hammer a golf ball the instant it hits the water?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a special one.<\/p>\n
