It was par-4, hole seven at Country View Golf Club in Lancaster last week when Angel Lucio heard a cry for help.
The Ferris High School senior ran down the hill to find another student from Crandall ISD struggling in the water.
Lucio grabbed him by the arms and pulled him out of the water. He later found out the freshman slipped into the water while trying to get a golf ball and didn't know how to swim.
The two were paired together during the tournament, and both felt fine to continue the game in their soaking wet clothes.
Lucio was recognized as Hero of the Month for Ferris High School, an award given by the Ferris ISD Police Department.
