Jarmo Sandelin saved life of neighbour (77)

in Stockholm apartment fire this week

European Tour player Jarmo Sandelin from Sweden risked life and limb to save a elderly neighbour when fire swept through his apartment block in Stockholm earlier this week.
Sandelin, who has played Ryder Cup golf, carried a 77-year-old woman to safety after smashing down her door with a fire extinguisher. He was unable to save her husband who perished in the fire.
Earlier, Sandelin, 41, had evacuating his wife Linda and family from their own apartment.
He was visibly still shaken today when he completed a six-under-par 66 to finish one shot behind the early leaders in the Spanish Open championship's opening round at PGA Catalunya..
"My family and I could have lost our lives so I am still in shock," he told reporters.
"I would prefer not to talk about it at the moment. It's hard but I'm trying to block things off so I can play golf."
