PGA Tour pro challenges a bird. Bird wins.

Chesson Hadley tries to chase off an avian friend at the Honda Classic, but the bird was having none of it.

The birds (ducks?) at PGA National in Palm Beach do not have time for all the intruding hoopla of the Honda Classic. Early this morning, one posted up on a green and was unperturbed by the golf balls being chipped and putted around him, refusing to abandon his post.

Then later in the day, the waifish Chesson Hadley ran after one in an attempt to force it back into the water, apparently because the birds would not vacate the area of his ball. But this is their turf and their environment and this particular bird wasn’t having it, giving it right back and instead chasing Hadley away.

Well done, bird.
