A Heartwarming Story

So often we hear discouraging stories about professional athletes. Think A-Rod, Tiger Woods, Michael Vick...the list is long.

But here's a story about a guy who knows what's important: Golfer Hunter Mahan was leading the Canadian Open on Sunday when he got a call that his wife was in labor. What did he do?

He walked off the course, flew to Dallas and welcomed Zoe Olivia Mahan into this world. He tweeted, "Both Baby and Mom are doing great. Thanks to all to my sponsors who appreciate what's important in life and all my fans for being Awesome!"

Clearly, the thirty-one-year-old California native is a champion, both on and off the links.
