RORY McILROY and Co were forced to sprint to clubhouse after the Players Championship was suspended due to thunderstorms.
The prestigious golf event in Florida was in its fourth and final round on Sunday.
McIlroy was leading by one shot as he played on the 12th hole.
But fans and players were left panicking as a horn blared at around 1.15pm local time.
Thunder and lightning cracked the sky as rain bucketed down.
And a warning read out: “Seek safe shelter or exit the premises.
“Avoid open areas, hill tops, and trees.”
People did not have to be told twice as the terrifying weather took hold.
Punters charged off the green to take cover from the storm.
While players including McIlroy made a mad dash to the clubhouse for safety.

The threat of a storm had been present ever since Saturday.

Temperatures had reached 25 degrees celsius, having been 17 degrees celsius just a week before.
And although the heat remained, strong winds blowing in murky clouds caused the chaotic storms seen on Sunday.
There was good news eventually, as play resumed for the day four hours later.
It left McIlroy bidding to remain top of the pile and seal victory.
