The 6-year-old son of major champion Brian Harman, who won the 2023 Open Championship, was rescued from a rip current in Florida last month. The woman who rescued the young boy is tragically in a coma...

quote:
"He makes it out fine, Cathy (is) injured really badly in the water," Harman said this week at the RSM Classic. "She’s been in a coma for going on six weeks now and so obviously our world down here was kind of turned on its head."

Harman is overwhelmed by the family friend's heroic act.

"I don’t really know what I wanted to kind of say other than I wanted to use whatever platform I have to bring awareness to what Cathy did, what Crane did," Harman said earlier this week.

"They disregarded themselves, went into the water, saved my son and how do you thank people like that? I don’t know other than to just say what you think. "I think that bravery and doing something like that for people who aren’t your blood is just the most beautiful thing you can do in this life."

She didn't save the kid, but she did try. The Crane guy actually saved the child.

I had a brain hemorrhage when I was about 30. As I lay there in pain, a million needles sticking into my brain and unable to move, my head filling up with blood and felt as big as a basketball...I couldn't figure out how my eyeballs were staying in my head and hadn't popped out onto my chest yet, the pressure was so great. I knew I was dying and could do nothing about it. Talk about an indescribably bad feeling. I called it Sour Dread.

No goodbyes to anyone, nothing accomplished in my life...just a fizzle out in the end. What a fckn waste. After about 5 hours of this, I looked down at the clock and it was 4 am. I then found myself in a whiteness. Just white everywhere. A few seconds later, my girlfriend's lil girl, about 3 years old, tugged on my hand in this whiteness. As I looked down at her beautiful lil face and those big brown eyes, like she had done so many times before as I was about to leave their house, she said, "Staaayyyeeeaaa" like she was on a roller coaster or something.

At that instance, I came back to the bed and the pain that had been building for 10 days and was just about to finish me off, was gone. The clock said 4:15 am. She saved me. I went and snuggled her up and finally drifted off to sleep. After this episode of my worthless life just about fizzling out like that, I said to myself that the next time that I go, I hope it's when I'm saving a lil girl from drowning. At least make it worth it...ya know? That just crossed my mind here.

Sad story all the way around. Makes me think if she must have been the nanny. I wouldn’t let my son in the water without adult next to him at 6
