Erik Compton Thinking About Packing It In

Just two years removed from a T-2 finish in the U.S. Open, two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton lost out on a chance to regain his card with this week's Web.com Tour finals cancellation.

Dave Shedloski talked to Compton for GolfDigest.com, and the 36-year-old is pondering a goodbye to playing pro golf. This quote was particularly heartbreaking:

“I’m not going to learn anything out here at my age. The only thing I’m going to learn is how to be away from the family with a short life span. I’ve been through the ringer enough, and I can’t seem to find a way to get out of it.”
