Popular 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.
