Erik Compton is a Norwegian-American professional golfer. When he was nine, Compton was diagnosed with a condition where the heart muscle is inflamed and unable to pump as hard as it should. This condition has resulted in him undergoing two successful heart transplants, the first being in 1992 when Compton was 12, and the second taking place in 2008.
During The Masters at Augusta, Georgia in April 2009, Compton received the Ben Hogan Award, given to a golfer who has stayed active in golf despite a physical handicap or serious illness. He also gained recognition for his attempts to be allowed the use of a golf cart during qualifying rounds for PGA Tour.
He plays with a lot of heart at US Open.
It doesn't matter what anybody else does, [he explained] It matters what you do.
Just a [fantastic] thought.
