PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Golfer Jason Bohn tells NBC Sports that what was reported as a mild heart attack turned out to be much more.
The 42-year-old golfer had a stent inserted Saturday for what he says was 99 percent blockage of a major artery. In a text exchange with the network, Bohn says the blockage was in his left anterior descending artery — known as the "widow maker" because it could lead to a major heart attack.
The PGA Tour initially said Friday night that it was a mild heart attack and he was in stable condition.
