Caddie vs. gator! Who ya got?

Look, let's be honest: as great as Bubba Watson's shot to win the Masters last week was, it wasn't like the ball was going to, say, EAT him if he misplayed it.

The scene: the 15th hole of the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, S.C. Golfer Brian Gay was greenside, but he wasn't alone ... there was a freaking alligator right there with him. So Gay's caddie Kip Henley stepped up and rousted the gator.

Gay would go on to bogey the hole, which is really about the best-case scenario. Henley, for his part, just made the game of golf 25 percent cooler.
