WATCH: PGA Tour pro's car set into flames on Central Florida highway

PGA Tour Latinoamerica player Willie Mack III was lucky to be alive after his car engine blew up and caught fire while he was driving at full speed on Central Florida highway.

Despite his car recently being called in under warranty to replace his engine, Mack's vehicle turned itself off as he was driving on the highway.

Mack managed to pull into the side of the highway before calling for help. Seconds later, a man pulled over to inform Mack that his car was on fire.

The 30-year-old managed to flee the car, retrieving his golf clubs, but not his personal belongings as the car burst into flames.
