I just spoke with the hero.
John Macklin of West Alexandria.
He volunteered for the event two days ago and is retired from the rescue services profession. “It almost felt like I was supposed to be here,” John told me. He was placed on the 17th fairway to watch incoming tee shots.
Sadly play has been halted for the time being in Springfield for a fan that seemed to have a heart attack.
The true heroes, were doctors and nurses watching who did CPR on the person for a long time, used paddles and he was conscious when he left in ambulance
