LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN HOTEL ROOM BATHTUB
Patrick's Reed's wife hospitalised after seizure
US pro golfer Patrick Reed's wife, Justine, was hospitalised after having a grand mal seizure on Tuesday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida
Reed withdrew from Wednesday's second day of the pro-am in the Franklin Templeton Shootout, but has not withdrawn from the tournament, which begins Thursday.
"I withdrew from today's pro-am to be with my wife, Justine, who suffered a grand mal seizure (Tuesday) afternoon while in the bathtub," Reed said in a statement.
"We are really fortunate that she is OK and lucky that I was in the room with her to save her from drowning. I am so grateful to the paramedic team, IMG and the doctors at Naples Community Hospital for their support and care during an extremely difficult time."
Justine Reed was scheduled to caddie for her husband this week, as she has often done in the past (see picture above).
According to the Mayo Clinic, a grand mal seizure features a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions. It's the type of seizure most people picture when they think about seizures in general.
The Reeds have a daughter, Windsor-Wells, who was born in May.
