Golfer Brian Harman said a family friend has been in a coma for nearly six weeks after she jumped into the water to save his 6-year-old son from drowning. Harman told reporters ahead of the RSM Classic on St. Simons Island, Georgia, on Tuesday that his family was on vacation in Florida along with their friend, Cathy Dowdy, when the incident occurred. He was competing at the Macau Open in China at the time. “I’ll try to make it through this as best I can.
This was an abnormally bad one,” he said. Dowdy went in the water after the child but started struggling, Harman said. A bystander jumped in to help. The professional golfer said Dowdy was 'injured really badly in the water” and has spent the past six weeks in a hospital. “Obviously, our world down here was kind of turned on its head,” he said. “I don’t really know what I wanted to kind of say, other than I wanted to use whatever platform I did to bring awareness to what Cathy did.
