EXCLUSIVEIncredible images show how close Travis and Jason Kelce came to run-in with bear at celebrity golf tournament

Remarkable Daily Mail images show a black bear lounging up in a tree just meters from the Kelce brothers as they played their final round of the American Century Championship.

Travis and Jason played alongside actor Miles Teller on Sunday as part of a star-studded field that brought 90 celebrities to the shores of Lake Tahoe.

During Friday’s first round, a bear wandered past the brothers – on the other side of a metal fence – as they prepared to take a tee sH๏τ.

Just a couple of days later, the brothers took on hole No 8 hole at Edgewood Tahoe, unaware that they had another spectator watching from up high.

Hordes of fans followed the two NFL legends around the course but exclusive pictures show the bear in the branches of a tree near the eighth fairway.

It was spotted by some spectators but not – it appeared – by either the Kelces or Teller. Travis made a par on hole no 8, while his older brother made a double-bogey six.

On Friday, fans rushed to take videos and pH๏τos of the bear as it wandered by the 16th hole. Even those on the tee box stopped to take a look.

The bear scares come only days after one was euthanized just a few miles away after attacking a camper at a site in South Lake Tahoe.

As reported by ABC10, the female black bear had been known for multiple home invasions and vehicle break-ins, and it entered an occupied trailer at 4:30am and swiped at the sleeping camper.

Designated a ‘public safety bear’, it was then killed by a State Parks ranger and its two cubs were taken to a Northern California wildlife rehabilitation facility. 

The American Century Championship was won by ex-hockey star Joe Pavelski, with Travis Kelce finishing in a tie for 63rd and Jason down in 86th.
