Jason Bohn appeared to have suffered a mild heart attack after the second round of the Honda Classic last Friday. It turned out to be a little more complicated than that.
Bohn discussed his status on Monday with SiriusXM. He said a stent was needed immediately for the major heart attack that he originally thought was minor.
Luckily, EMTs at the golf course insisted that he go to the hospital immediately, where doctors realized that he had a 99 percent blockage in his left anterior descending artery, the kind of damage that cardiologists call a “widow maker.”
“The craziest part about the whole situation is I had no idea that I was having a heart attack," Bohn told SiriusXM. "My doctors all have told me that had I passed out or gone down on the golf course that they really don’t think they would have had time to get the proper blood thinners in me, and put the stent in that they were able to do in time. I got one hell of a mulligan ... That’s all I can say.”
Bohn is still resting up but should be OK with the procedure.
His fellow golfers, even ones in the thick of the tournament, were concerned about one of the more popular pros on the PGA Tour.
Praying for the Bohn family tonight. Feel better and get some rest Jason! Easily one of the best guys out on Tour.
