A TURTLE went viral at the Houston Open for all the wrong reasons.
The cute animal interrupted play on Sunday and Taylor Pendrith’s caddie Mitchell Theoret tried to do the obvious thing by picking it up.
However, Theoret was caught by surprise as the turtle reacted in the most unexpected manner.
The turtle started to urinate an excessive amount of waste while the caddie tried to move it to a safe distance.
However, Theoret managed to keep it together and placed the course invader safely on the green far off the action.
Fans were left absolutely stunned by the bizarre moment as they stormed social media.
One golf enthusiast tweeted: “This turtle might have had one too many at the bar before the round today.”
Another commented: “I had no idea a turtle could hold this much in…”
A third wrote: “Caddy needs hazardous duty pay.”

A fourth joked: “Had to empty the tank.”
Pendrith eventually finished in fifth place, tied with Rory McIlroy, five shots behind eventual winner Min Woo Lee.
The golf star won $337,844 (£261,476) and caddies are usually paid around seven per cent of their player’s winnings for a top-five finish.
That means Theoret would have taken home $23,649 (£18,305) – and he definitely earned every penny.
