David Toms hospitalized

david_toms.jpgPopular Shreveport, Louisiana-based PGA Tour golfer David Toms was hospitalized yesterday on an emergency basis after he was seen clutching his chest and taking a knee due to an escalated heart rate while playing the first round of the 84 Lumber Classic in Pennsylvania. Toms was rushed to a hospital via Life Flight helicopter where he is now reported to be in stable condition.

Update: Toms has been released from the hospital after being diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia, which is a general term for any rapid heart rate originating above the ventricles. It is generally a non-life-threatening condition that can be either treated with medication or cured with minor surgery.
