Washington, July 2: Golfer Sean O'Hair has met up with the man whose life he saved after an "errant golf shot" of his had hit the latter on the head.

Nearly a year ago a misdirected shot from the pro golfer, during the final round of the AT and T National at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newton Square, went astray and hit Chris Logan's left temple.

As he was being checked out by emergency technicians, a doctor asked Logan about a lump below his throat and urged him to get it checked out. The lump turned out to be a malignant tumour on his thyroid.

And when the two finally met nearly one year later, they didn't quite know what to say to each other.

"We had a little battle on what to say. He hit me in the head and then helped me out with the cancer diagnosis. So that was pretty funny," Fox News quoted Logan as telling the Philadelphia Inquirer.

"He's a really nice guy, glad to finally meet him," he said.

O'Hair told the Inquirer that it was "something cool to be involved with".

"You feel bad about hitting him, but yet you feel good that he found out about the cancer, found it early, and got it worked on," he told the newspaper. (ANI)
