FORMER PGA PRO MAY LOSE LEG

Former PGA Tour pro Casey Martin, pictured, who won the right to use a golf cart in professional events, is now fighting to save his compromised leg.

Martin has had Klippel-trenaunay-weber syndrome — a congenital circulatory disorder — since birth, and a weakened right leg led to him successfully suing the PGA under the Americans with Disabilities Act to employ a golf cart on tour.

Martin broke his right tibia in October when he was pulling in his garbage cans at his home in Oregon. The disorder has prevented Martin’s leg fracture from healing.

“I knew this day was coming,” Martin told The Eugene Register Guard. “I was grateful that I was able to hold it off for a long time. I thought it would happen at 27, not 47. But it has happened. I’m just going to do everything in my power to save my leg.”
