Mid-Tournament College Golfers Save Man With CPR

Thanks to reader Rob for this unbylined story on the North Greenville University website about junior Lauren Childs and playing partners administering CPR along with other life-saving responses to a man living off the 15h green at Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The women were playing the Founders Credit Union-Converse Fall Invite to kick off their season September 15-16 when they saw a man face down next to his lawn mower. From the story:

“I knew I had to get to him as fast as I could,” said Childs. “As soon as the girl I was playing with hit, I took off running towards him, and everyone started running after me.” As Lauren Childs and two others from her group reached the man, her past CPR and first aid training took over. She immediately rolled the man over on to his back, pulling off his shoes as the man was profusely sweating, and elevating his feet while spectators dialed 911.
