  • One of Eriks goals for the Honda Classic, apart from making the cut, was to be able to walk through all the four rounds without having to use a golf cart (which he is allowed to use). He made it.

  • Erik's straight outta' Compton

  • He's tied for the lead in the Greenbrier Classic.

  • just saw the hbo special...very inspiring

  • Erik stayed with our family for the Sunnehanna Amateur in Pennsylvania... he was a very inspiring young man. His brother Matt was his caddy, actually, and was also a very kind person. To think that anyone could just survive this kind of trauma, let alone play a professional sport, is just amazing.

  • sos realmente un ejemplo Dios ayuda a los humildes de corazon nunca lo olvides, felicitaciones por tu beba, lo mismo para tu señora que ya no responde mails a los amigos de sus origenes, que tu humildad se haga extensiva a ella

  • as an avid golfer who has a heart transplant in Aug 15th 2008...it is not easy to walk 18 holes never mind play at such a high level...congradulations Erik....you are an insperation to me as i get ready for the upcoming season here in alberta canada...best of luck and i hope i can be half as strong as you are...
