Golf squirrel causes a delay at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

This has become an epidemic, folks.

There’s been a delay at the 2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. No, it’s not because of the weather or Tiger Woods’ injury -- this is a squirrel delay.

The feisty rodent has been tired of looking on from the sidelines while other mammals get their time in the sun. Sure, anyone can turn up for a weekend and knock a tiny ball around, but could any of these humans climb a nearby tree and find a winter’s worth of acorns? Didn’t think so.

We might have a repeat offender on our hands, folks. A suspiciously similar-looking squirrel invaded the same tournament last year. This little guy better not get caught, especially with priors like that.

Now we can add golf squirrel to the esteemed list of golf animals that includes golf turtle, golf fox, golf otter and golf pheasant.
