LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Oct. 28, 2008) – Former No.1-ranked junior Erik Compton, who has overcome two heart transplants to compete for a spot on the PGA TOUR, and former eight-time PGA TOUR winner Bob Tway have accepted sponsor's exemptions to play in the Children's Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart Nov. 6-9 at Walt Disney World Resort.
Compton's uplifting story of perseverance and determination reached new heights last Friday when he posted a 4 under-par 68 to qualify for the second stage of the PGA TOUR Qualifying School just five months after his second heart transplant. Compton struggled through the first 54 holes (76-75-77) before recording the low round of the day among 76 players at the Crandon Park Golf Course in suburban Miami.
Compton, who received his first heart transplant at age 12 as a result of heart disease, competed with 1,100 golfers across the country at 11 courses in the first stage of qualifying that ultimately may lead to earning a PGA TOUR card. The PGA TOUR granted Compton the right to use a cart during qualifying stages.
