Compton Champions the Cause of Organ Donation As He Competes This Week to Win PGA Tour Card

[Guest guest]

Just four months after his second

heart transplant, Professional Golfer Compton is back on the course this

week, competing to achieve his lifetime goal--a card to play on the PGA Tour. Perhaps cheering loudest for Compton will be the

90,000-plus Americans waiting on organ donor waiting lists. An

average of 17 people die each day (over 6,000 each year) waiting for a

transplant. Though golf will be his

focus this week as he competes in the first of three qualifying tournaments

starting on Tuesday (October 21st) to earn the right to play with the likes of

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, Compton will also be promoting a cause,

literally near and dear to his new heart….
