PALM BEACH GARDENS — It's been almost 25 years since Randy Johnson decimated a bird with a pitch in a spring training game and it's amazing how often that incident still comes up among sports fans.

During Thursday’s first round of the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches, something happened that brought back the Big Unit bird chatter all over again.

On the seventh hole at PGA National, Jupiter resident Ryan Gerard hit his tee shot on the par-3 hole and his ball wasn't in the air for long when it clipped a passing bird.
