Summary
Andrea Pavan, a 36-year-old professional golfer, withdrew from the DP World Tour’s Investec South African Open due to injuries sustained in a freak elevator accident. Pavan fell three stories down an elevator shaft in the building where he was staying and underwent extensive surgeries on Wednesday night. His condition is reportedly good, and he is thankful to be alive.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Pavan’s season was already off to a slow start, and then this happens.
He’s lucky to be alive, but his golf career might not be so fortunate.
This is the kind of freak injury that makes you wonder what’s next.
And now, no recovery timeline has been released, which means we’ll just have to wait and see how this plays out.
Original Observation: The DP World Tour is full of “learning moments” for players, but this is a whole new level.
