PGA golfer gives up lead to witness daughter's birth
Would you have done the same?
http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/28/sport/...html?hpt=hp_t3 PGA star Hunter Mahan chose family over work this weekend, and though it may have cost him more than $1 million, he sounds ecstatic. "What a whirlwind of a day," Mahan tweeted Sunday morning, "but I'm happy to announce the birth of my daughter Zoe Olivia Mahan born at 3:26 am. Thanks for all the support! "Both Baby and Mom are doing great. Thanks to all to my sponsors who appreciate what's important in life and all my fans for being Awesome!" he added in a second tweet. Mahan was halfway to his sixth career PGA Tour tournament victory, with a two-shot lead after Friday's second round of the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ontario. But after receiving a call early Saturday that his wife, Kandi, had gone into labor, he withdrew from the tournament and flew home to Dallas to be present for the birth of the couple's first child rather than continuing to pursue the $1.008 million first prize. "Kandi and I are thrilled about this addition to the Mahan family, and we look forward to returning to the RBC Canadian Open in the coming years," Mahan said Saturday, according to PGATOUR.Com. Mahan has made more than $2.3 million already in 2013, with four Top 10 finishes this year, including a tie for fourth place at the U.S. Open and a tie for ninth place at the British Open over the past two months, PGATOUR.com says. |

Probably. He'll make more off endorsements because of the "feel-good" nature of this story.

Wonder if he would have stayed if he was having a sucky year?

Yes, having those priorities in the correct alignment always comes out rosy in the end.

It's not like a 2-shot lead after 36 holes is insurmountable. If he had walked off the course with a 2-shot lead and 2 holes to play, THAT would be a story.

What, is she too good to give birth in the gallery? Women gave birth outside for 50,000 years.

So you're thinking he just wanted to see her naked? It seems like there are better times to do that.
