Clint Eastwood Saves PGA Tournament Director’s Life


PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Clint Eastwood added another starring role at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am – life saver.

Eastwood attended a volunteer party on the eve of the PGA Tour event when he noticed tournament director Steve John choking on a piece of cheese. The 83-year-old actor quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver Wednesday night at the Monterey Conference Center.

“I was drinking water and eating these little appetizers, threw down a piece of cheese and it just didn’t work,” John said Friday. “I was looking at him and couldn’t breathe. He recognized it immediately and saved my life.”

No truth to the rumor that he just stared at the man until the cheese melted.

Water hazard:

1-stroke penalty. Play the cheese as near as possible to the original hors d'oeuvre tray.
Unless it was Swiss cheese, in that case he’s credited with a hole-in-one.
