PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- His son had just won the U.S. Open on Father's Day, and Dan Woodland was standing near the 18th green talking about the day his heart stopped beating 10 years ago, when his boy Gary was a PGA Tour rookie trying to make the cut on this very course at Pebble Beach.
Dan Woodland had suffered a heart attack while playing golf, though he thought it was heartburn at the time.
"I had three bypasses," he said Sunday night, "and then I coded."
Coded?
"I passed," Dan Woodland said. "Passed."
Passed away?
