Golf squirrel tries to go for a ride in Rickie Fowler’s golf bag

An enterprising squirrel wants in on this playoff at The Players Championship.

Rickie Fowler just had the best finish in the history of The Players Championship, needing just 11 strokes to play the final four holes and playing the last six holes in 6-under. He lit up the grounds at TPC Sawgrass as everyone scrambled to catch up and follow his finish. Now he’s headed to an extra hole playoff to decide it and even the local wildlife want in.

The Players golf squirrel earns points for his efforts, but we’re still partial to Sammy, the USA’s unofficial mascot at the Presidents Cup.
