Video: Petrified pro golfer slowly backs away to let racoon take over tee box

Something tells me this critter didn't pay his green fee.

Aussie golfer Robert Allenby got an almighty fright playing at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass at the weekend.

Allenby was getting ready to smack a tee-shot at the 14th hole when he noticed a terrifying little creature at the corner of his eye.

A raccoon had wandered onto the tee box during his pre-swing ritual, but luckily Allenby noticed just in time before the monstrous beast could pounce and drag him kicking and screaming, back to its killing lair.
