"It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen."
/Garry Smits on the couple that decided to park on the 8th green at TPC Sawgrass last night and do Lord knows what. Thankfully, the green sustained no damage. Too bad they don't arm the TPC maintenance staff with tasers too.
According to a report by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, William John Rinaldi and Brianna Lynn Borelli, who share the same Jacksonville address, were discovered by Vlach and Reich around 9 p.m. Thursday, inside the car, parked on the eighth green, with the motor running.
After Rinaldi refused to turn the motor off and get out of the car at Vlach's request, he called 911. When sheriff's deputies arrived, Rinaldi and Borelli were outside the vehicle. There was no damage to the green and Vlach declined to press charges as long as the two were issued a trespass warning.
"The best thing about it is I don't think there was any intent to tear up the course," said Capt. Dave Messenger of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office on Friday. "It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen."
Borelli's mother came to take the vehicle off the property.
